Detail InformationEdit

Cordoba has a hot, dry climate and the city’s inhabitants, first the Romans and later the Moslems, adapted the design of their houses to their needs, with the rooms all arranged around a Central courtyard (Spanish: patio), which normally had a fountain in the middle and often a well which collected rainwater. The Moslems adapted this plan further by having an entrance from the street via a hallway and adding a large number of plants to try and create a fresh, cool atmosphere.
There are two distinct types of ‘patios’. The first type is in a house belonging to one family where all the rooms give out onto the central courtyard. They usually have arches around them and either a tiled floor or a mosaic of pebbles. The second type is found in the so-called casas de vecinos (neighbours’ houses), where the ‘patio’ acts as a small central square which all the houses look out onto. This type of building usually has two or More floors, and there are balconies overlooking the ‘patio’, with bannisters and a tiled roof. The floors are usually pebble-dashed and often have a well in the middle.
