This is a medieval castle in Córdoba, the palace of the kings of the Christian era, where the famous "double kings" of Spanish history, Ferdinand and Isabella, once lived (a bit like Li Zhi and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty). Tickets for 4.5 euros, definitely great value for money.

The first thing to visit is its castle part, although it looks like the wall is thick and the tower is high and indestructible, but in fact there is nothing to visit, it is very pocket-sized, there is no decoration, empty, the upper floor is the royal palace, the middle is the outbuilding and the small mosque, the lower floor is the garden, and the roof platform can see the ancient Roman bridge under the castle.
