Cordoba City Guide

overall city rating 70%

Córdoba is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It was founded in ancient Roman times as Corduba by Claudius Marcellus.

It has been estimated that Cordoba, with up to 500,000 inhabitants in the tenth century, was the largest city in Western Europe and, perhaps, in the world.
