The Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba was founded in 786, at the time, the second largest mosque behind the mosque of Mecca. In 1238, after the Christian reconquest of the city, the building was consecrated as a cathedral. Today, the whole is the most important monument of Cordoba. It is one of the 12 treasures of Spain and a UNESCO site.
The church of San Hipólito de Córdoba was created by King Alfonso XI in 1343, after his victory in the decisive Battle of Salado (1340). At first the building was destined to a monastery, but later, in 1347, it would become Royal Collegiate, a status it lost in 1852 to be finally ceded to the Jesuits.
The church of San Pablo was the church of the former Dominican convent from San Pablo built between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. Additions have been introduced such as the 18th century main portal and the Chapel of the Virgin of the Rosary.
