Around LAS TENDILLAS Information |
The route covering the surroundings of the popular Plaza de las Tendillas
has a monumental character and offers visitors the possibility of
discovering the most authentic and traditional Cordoba. We begin in
Plaza de Colon and the Jardines de la Merced gardens, passing by the
Tower of La Malmuerta and the Old Convent of La Merced - today the
County Council - and arriving at the Plaza de Capuchinos, a square
known as Plaza del Cristo de los Faroles which contains the Covent
Church of the Santo Angel. From the top of the Cuesta del Bailio hill,
which divides the upper and lower parts of the city, it is possible
to see the beautiful plateresque doorway of the Casa del Bailio; and
if we continue walking, we can admire the Torres Cabrera Palace, the
Cistercian Convent, theCirculo de la Amistad Cultural Centre, and
the Plazas of Las Capuchinas and San Mlguel. Nearby are the Plaza
de las Tendillas, and de la Compañia.
The former stands on the site formerly occupied by shops - hence its
name - and has an unusual clock which strikes the hours with the sound
of soleares, flamenco pieces played on a guitar. The latter was formerly
in the heart of the medina and today contains the churches of El Salvador
and Santo Domingo de Silos and the Santa Catalina College, where Luis
de Gongora studied.
Taking Calle Gondomar we come to Avenida del Gran Capitan. Further
along are the Great Theatre, and the Church of San Hipolito. Walking
post the Jardines de la Agricultura and the Botanical Gardens, we
arrive at the Roman Mausoleum and the remains of the amphitheatre,
which were discovered recently.
