A long history of alterations, expansions, and renovations have created a defining mixture of styles. This incredible fortress was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1987 around the same time as the Seville Cathedral. You can also visit the breathtaking royal gardens in the cathedral which are divided into separate sections, all of which appeal with a unique style. The Jewish Quarter is another important place which describes a dark history of deceit and destruction which has its presence on the walls of the Jewish Quarter in Cordoba. At the centre of the quarter is the Synagogue un Calle de Los Judios, one of only three originals remaining in Spain. You can also find a statue of a Jewish philosopher called Maimonides, also an astronomer born in Cordoba. Apart from other recognizable beautiful monuments of Spain, Torre del Oro of Seville is one of the widely visited historical monuments and is also known as the Golden Tower. The tower is believed to have a lime and straw mortar, giving it this golden reflection. The Church of Santo Tome houses the masterpiece artwork by a Renaissance El Greco known as The Burial of the Count of Orgaz and it depicts the popular local legend of his time. The painting is divided into two sections, heaven above and the mortals and earth below.
