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.

Site of ancient city built as capital, dating from the 10th century, that is v\better known as the Moorish Versailles, though there is little similarity. The building of the city took a third of the Cordoban state revenue for about 10 years and the city was designed to impress all who saw it.

Many arches have been restored but much is at ground level, including the five aisled mosque.

It is now easy to get to the sitewithout a car as there is a tourist bus, bookable at the information centre or most hotels where you pay €5 for the return journey and a good guidebook.

This museum had an early stroke of luck - the discovery of an actual Roman patio on site which, with some of its artefacts, is now incorporated.

However it is not only the Roman exhibits which are impressive. Some of the prehistoric sculpteres of bulls and lions are immensely impressive as are the remains from Medinat Al Zahara, including a well known sculpture of a musk deer.

The museum is free to EU citizens but at €1.50 it is unlikely to break the bank for others!

_____________Nightlife and Entertainment
Edit This
Nightlife in Córdoba (as in almost all Spain) is endless. Pubs are supposed to close at 3:00 am, but actually they don't! After that hour, the bartender close the Pub's door and, to get in, you've got to knock the door. They open it and... surprise: the party has just started!

____________-Festivals

MAY - ¡MAYO!

The best time to visit the city. 'The Month of Córdoba'.
Feria de Córdoba - Last week in May, a huge fair of drinking, dancing, eating, and not working. Flamenco and salsa music. Highly recommended, the funniest party ever!

Cruces de Mayo - 1st week of May. Very funny, a lot of public squares in the city center, the old city, with big crosses flower-made, with music and drinks full of people having fun!

Cata de Vino-Montilla Moriles Cordovan Wine tasting fair. Very good wines and music in a huge tent in the city center.

Festival de Patios - About 2 weeks during May. People living in the ancient districts of Cordoba are proud to open their courtyards to visitors and participate in a contest in which colourful plants and different elements invite to contemplate the beauty of traditional style houses.

MARCH-APRIL

Semana Santa (The Week Before Easter) - Processions throughout town involving scenes from the life of Christ, bands, and penitents. Very nice cultural exhibition across this beautiful city. Approximately six processions each night from 6 p.m. to midnight.

[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. In esso si trovano centri commerciali come il Patio Olmos, grandi edifici, pub, discoteche, piazze, ristoranti, supermercati ed altri centri per lo shopping e per lo svago. Di grande interesse culturale è il Palacio Ferreyra, situato all'angolo fra Hipólito Yrigoyen e Chacabuco.

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.
