Archaeology, fine arts, flamenco, Sephardic history — Córdoba's museums cover two millennia in compact, walkable settings.
Córdoba's museums are as diverse as the city's history. The Archaeological Museum traces Roman and Moorish heritage, the Museo de Bellas Artes houses Andalusian masters, and Casa de Sefarad preserves Sephardic memory in a 14th-century courtyard house. For something different, the Centro Flamenco Fosforito explores the art form born in this region. All five are within walking distance of each other in the historic centre.
