The heart of Córdoba is the old Jewish quarter, situated to the west of the Mezquita’s towering walls. A walk around this area gives the sensation that little has changed since the 10th century, when this was one of the greatest cities in the Western world. Wrought ironwork decorates cobbled streets too narrow for cars, where silversmiths create fine jewellery in their workshops. Most of the chief sights are here, while modern city life takes place some blocks north, around the Plaza de las Tendillas.
