Córdoba was the capital of the Roman province Provincia Hispania Ulterior Baetica. Great philosophers like Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, orators like Seneca the Elder and poets like Lucan expressed themselves in the palaces of Cordoba. Later, it occupied an important place in the Provincia Hispaniae of the Byzantine Empire and during the Visigoth period.

Córdoba became a capital once more during the Independent Emirate and the Western Umayyad Caliphate, the period of its apogee, with a population ranging between 250,000 and 500,000 inhabitants. In the 10th century, Córdoba was one of the largest cities in the world, as well as a great cultural, political and economic centre. The Mosque of Córdoba dates back to this time. In the present, Córdoba is a major cultural focal point in Southern Europe, considered as one of the most beautifully preserved cities, and a city with great quality of life in Spain.

[Worth particular mention is ] The Mezquita: The mosque, which dates back to the Umayyad period (its construction started in 784), was converted to a Cathedral after the Reconquista.
