About Sagunto (Córdoba)
Where to stay in Sagunto (Córdoba)
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Sagunto is a residential barrio of the Distrito Levante, so a room here stands among apartment blocks rather than on a monument street. Calle Sagunto runs through it, and the Grupo de viviendas Los Apóstoles holds the middle. Parque Madre Coraje holds the south end.
Ronda del Marrubial closes the district on the west, and San Lorenzo and the parish quarters of the old city begin on the far side. Come for a room among the apostle blocks, not among the monuments.
