Alley of Flowers Cordoba

Calleja de las Flores is one of Córdoba's most picturesque and frequently visited streets, located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter near the Mezquita-Catedral. This narrow, winding alleyway ascends gently, culminating in a quaint plaza adorned with vibrant flowerpots filled with geraniums and carnations. The whitewashed walls and wrought-iron balconies overflow with blooms, creating a fragrant and colorful atmosphere. From the plaza, visitors are treated to a stunning view of the Mezquita-Catedral's bell tower framed between the narrow walls.

Historically, the Calleja de las Flores was an ordinary residential alley. Its transformation into a floral haven began in the mid-20th century under the direction of architect Víctor Escribano Ucelay, who redesigned the street to enhance its aesthetic appeal. This initiative was part of a broader effort to beautify Córdoba's historic center, leading to the charming passageway enjoyed by many today. As the alley is a residential area, visitors are encouraged to maintain a respectful noise level and avoid obstructing doorways.
