This year Casa Árabe is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the official opening of its Cordoba headquarters, and these guided tours are just another of the many activities planned throughout the year to commemorate this important date. 

These tours provide the opportunity to get a first-hand view of a whole set of remains from the thirteenth century, containing features from the Mudéjar, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, all in a unique space that reflects admixture, diversity, multiculturalism and cultural encounters in the city of Cordoba.

The Casa Mudéjar building is a group of five different houses linked together by galleries, passageways and stairwells, with four courtyards and a turret. The original building dates back to the fourteenth century, though most of the current structures are from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It is located within the southern part of the Historical Center of Cordoba, near the Mosque-Cathedral, within the area declared to be a World Heritage Site.

The building’s ancient structure and layout remain intact, providing an important example of domestic manorial architecture that is purely Mudéjar in style. Formerly the dwelling of important families from Cordoba like the Venegas and the Córdobas, it currently maintains a large number of its original architectural features despite the different uses given to the building across time: a palace, a home, the site of Cordoba’s Archeology Museum from 1923 to 1959, an ethnology museum planned in the eighties, and administrative and cultural offices in the nineties.

Most notable are its fifteenth-century mural paintings, two-thirds of which are attributed to the painter Pedro Romana, and one of the finest examples of the scarce Mudéjar painting that has been left behind and found in the city. It is a recent finding which dates back to 1928, a time when the house was being prepared to house the Archeological Museum of Cordoba.

The State’s Directorate General of Heritage ceded the historical building to Casa Árabe for use as its Cordoba headquarters, and the refurbishment and adaptation work on Casa Mudéjar to become Casa Árabe’s headquarters, directed by the Municipal Government of Cordoba itself, was bestowed with the first World Heritage City Award of 2011, bestowed by Spain’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.

Price per tour: 4 euros for the general public at the headquarters. 3 euros: tickets purchased online, the officially unemployed, Casa Árabe Language Center students and Youth Card holders. Pay for your ticket through our website (by clicking on the “purchase tickets” button) or in person at the Casa Árabe headquarters in Cordoba (payment by cash or credit card).

Capacity is limited due to the health situation, and you are required to wear a mask in order to take the tour.
