Where to stay in Catedral
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
This is the barrio everyone means by Córdoba. The Mosque-Cathedral stands in it and the Guadalquivir runs along the front, so the rooms here are the most sought in the city and the streets are busiest between the river and the monument. San Basilio lies south-west. San Francisco-Ribera is east.

About Catedral
What are the main landmarks in Catedral?
The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is the whole reason. It sits a short way back from the Guadalquivir with the barrio wrapped around it, and San Pedro de Alcántara Church stands within the same few streets. The Alcázar stands just outside the boundary.
So does the Puerta de Almodóvar.
What is the history of Catedral?
The barrio is named for what stands in it. Córdoba files Catedral inside the Centro district on the ribera of the Guadalquivir, between San Francisco-Ribera to the east and San Basilio and Huerta del Rey-Vallellano to the south-west, which is a quarter of a square kilometre in all. The Guadalquivir closes the south.
The monument fills it.
Where is Catedral?
