Cordoban patios

One of the most interesting architectural pearls of Cordoba are patios - open spaces of houses, serving as lighting and ventilation of other rooms. The image of the courtyard is the heritage of an Islamic home, and is distinguished by a multitude of flowers planted in flower beds and pots, or by intriguing small architecture. Cordoba patios are open to the public, and their tourist value was established during the first competition for the most beautiful patio in 1921.
