The Jewish Quarter and The alley of the Flowers

The Jewish Quarter is the best-known part of Cordoba's historic centre, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. To the northwest of the Mosque-Cathedral along the city wall, its medieval streets have a distinctly Moorish flair to them, reminiscent of the Jews' prosperity under the Caliphate of Cordoba. Of special interest are the Synagogue and Souk.1984

The alley of the Flowers (Calleja de las Flores) is one of the most popular and tourist streets of Crdoba city. Positioned as an intersection of the street Velzquez Bosco, is a narrow street that ends in a plaza. The district is the famous Juderia, or Jewish Quarter, and from various vantage points, the Mezquita dominates the skyline.

The alley of the Flowers (Calleja de las Flores) is a street that no Cordoba visitor will want to miss. More of an alleyway than a street actually, it is known for its charming appeal, which is largely bolstered by many lovely homes. Ornate wrought-iron balconies adorn the homes, and these balconies in turn are adorned by potted flowers. More flowers are found in window boxes, and adding to the blissful atmosphere of it all are beautiful courtyards.
