Sizzling Europe

Founded in the ancient Roman times, Cordoba was formerly called Corduba by Claudius Marcellus. It is splendid city in Andalucia, southern Spain and is the capital of the province of Cordoba.

It is currently a moderately sized modern city which has numerous impressive and remarkable architectural reminders of how the city became the thriving capital of the Caliphate of Cordoba which has governed almost all of the areas in the Iberian Peninsula. Having 500,000 inhabitants, Cordoba is named as the largest city in Western Europe.

Cordoba’s location on the borders of the Guadalquivir River and easy access to the country’s mining resources of the Sierra Morena had satisfied the people’s needs. Cordoba is situated in a depression of the valley of Guadalquivir and in its north is the Sierra Morena that delimitates the borders of the city’s municipal territory. The city has a Mediterranean climate and has Atlantic coastal influences.
