| Cordoba Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Mezquita. Outside door. Mezquita. Outside door. Chemi Situated in the center of Andalusian Autonomous Region, Cordoba is a great cultural referring in Europe. This ancient city, which has been declared World Heritage Site, is a mixture of the diverse cultures that settled in it throughout history. Very few places in the world can boast of having been the capital of Hispania Ulterior under the Roman Empire, and the capital of the Al-Andalus (highly civilized Arab state in Southern Europe) and the Caliphate. Such splendour is palpable in the intellectual wealth of this centre of wisdom and knowledge, that has seen the birth of figures like Seneca, Averroes and Maimonides. The historic quarter of Cordoba is a beautiful network of small streets, alleys, squares and whitewashed courtyards arranged around the Mosque-Cathedral, which reflects the importance of the city during medieval times. Nowadays Córdoba is also a modern city, very well connected to the other Andalusian capitals by the high speed train (AVE) and a very extensive railway network linking it to all the big cities, like Madrid and Seville. Inside the city is very easy and fast to reach your destination due to an efficient public transport system. Cordoba is also synonymous with art, culture and leisure, thanks to a myriad of cultural events that are organised here throughout the year: Flamenco festivals, concerts, ballet and other activities that are complemented by a number of museums and an exciting nightlife. Meanwhile, the province has very beautiful villages like Priego de Córdoba, an example of Spanish baroque; Zuheros, the typical white Andalusian village with a well situated castle or Montilla. 'Parque Nacional de la Sierra de Hornachuelos' In Hornachuelos and 'Parque Natural de las Sierras Subbéticas' in Cardeña are interesting natural reserves. _________Sights Edit This basilica near site entrance, Medinat Al-Zahara basilica near site entrance, Medinat Al-Zahara davidx Quite a lot of museums in Cordoba are free of entrance fee for inhabitants of the EU.

Córdoba è una città situata nell'Argentina centrale, ai piedi della catena montuosa Sierras Chicas, sulle rive del fiume Primero, circa 700 km a nord-ovest di Buenos Aires. É la capitale dell'omonima provincia. Conta quasi 1.300.000 abitanti, ed è la seconda città dell'Argentina per popolazione. É un importante centro industriale, ma mantiene molti dei suoi edifici storici risalenti all'epoca coloniale.
[modifica] Quartieri
Patio Olmos
El Centro è il distretto commerciale più importante, con negozi d'abbigliamento, alimentari, elettronica, calzature, nonché le sedi delle banche più importanti come la Banca di Córdoba e altre istituzioni bancarie private. Vi è anche una grande varietà di ristoranti, dai più economici ai più lussuosi. Siti di interesse turistico sono la piazza San Martín, il Blocco Gesuita (dichiarato Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO) e il Museo Genaro Perez. Le vie principali sono Humberto Primo, Avenida Colón, General Paz, Dean Funes e 27 de Abril, dove ferma buona parte degli autobus.
Quartiere Cerro de las Rosas
Cerro de las Rosas è un distretto molto grande. É noto per i suoi ristoranti e per i negozi di vendita al dettaglio (abbigliamento, alimentari, attrezzature sportive). É un quartiere storico dove si trovano gli edifici più vecchi e le scuole più prestigiose. Il quartiere è anche ricco di locali notturni. Urca è il secondo distretto per importanza dopo Cerro de las Rosas. É il quartiere dell'alta borghesia. Anch'esso è ricco di negozi d'abbigliamento e ristoranti. La chiesa di Maria Madre del Redentor è situata sulla riva del fiume Suquia. Le vie principali sono Emilio Lamarca e Menendez Pidal. Nueva Córdoba è il quartiere più grande.

La Cattedrale
Ciudad Universitaria (il quartiere universitario) si trova nella parte meridionale della città, nei pressi del Parque Sarmiento. La maggior parte delle facoltà dell'Università Nazionale di Córdoba hanno sede in questo quartiere, così come un'altro importante ateneo, lo UTN, nel quale si insegnano materie di ambito tecnico-scientifico. Anche lo Zoo di Córdoba è situato in questo quartiere. Argüello dista circa 6 chilometri da Cerro de Las Rosas. Qui hanno sede numerose scuole superiori e collegi rinomati. Durante i decenni più recenti, questo quartiere ha conosciuto una crescita e uno sviluppo costanti, specialmente nella zona del Barrio La Carolina.
[modifica] Storia
Chiesa dei Cappuccini
Córdoba fu fondata nel 1573 da Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera e prese il proprio nome dall'omonima città spagnola. Fu una delle prime capitali coloniali della regione che ora costituisce l'Argentina (più vecchie sono Buenos Aires, fondata nel 1536 e Santiago del Estero, fondata nel 1553). L'Università Nazionale di Córdoba è la più vecchia del Sudamerica. Fu fondata nel 1613 dall'Ordine dei Gesuiti. Alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale, Córdoba divenne un centro importante per l'industria aeronautica argentina, sede della fabbrica di velivoli militari dell'Argentina, la Fábrica Militar de Aviones. Il governo argentino offrì ai tecnici tedeschi della Focke-Wulf incarichi nel proprio istituto di tecnica aeronautica, l'Instituto Aerotécnico in Córdoba. Molti vi si trasferirono nel 1947. L'Instituto Aerotécnico divenne successivamente la Fábrica Militar de Aviones. Diede impiego agli uomini della Focke-Wulf finché il presidente Juan Domingo Perón non fu deposto da un colpo di stato nel 1955. La Fábrica è stata acquisita dalla Lockheed Martin negli anni '90. Córdoba ha numerosi monumenti storici conservati dai tempi del colonialismo spagnolo, specialmente edifici appartenenti alla Chiesa cattolica. Il sito più caratteristico è probabilmente il Blocco Gesuita (la Manzana Jesuítica), dichiarato nel 2000 "Patrimonio dell'Umanità" dall'UNESCO. É un blocco di edifici che risalgono dal XVII secolo, fra cui la Scuola Montserrat, l'Università (oggi museo storico dell'Università di Córdoba) e la chiesa della Compagnia di Gesù.
[modifica] Economia
Il Cabildo (palazzo del governo coloniale)
Dal termine della seconda guerra mondiale, Córdoba ha sviluppato una solida e versatile base industriale. I settori principali sono la costruzione di automobili (Renault, Volkswagen, Fiat), di ferrovie (Materfer) e di aerei (vedi sopra). inoltre vi sono impianti tessili, di industria pesante e chimica. Córdoba è considerato il centro tecnologico dell'Argentina. Il centro spaziale argentino (Centro Espacial Teófilo Tabanera), nel quale vengono costruiti e lanciati satelliti, ha sede nel sobborgo di Falda del Cañete. Inoltre molte multinazionali di software ed elettronica dispongono di una sede in questa città.
