Hermitages of Córdoba
Ermitas de Córdoba
A group of hermit dwellings in the Sierra Morena, with a viewpoint over the whole of Córdoba and the Guadalquivir valley.
The Hermitages of Córdoba stand on the slopes of the Sierra Morena, north of the city. Since the 18th century, hermits have built more than a dozen small hermitage houses and chapels here, and religious communities still maintain them. The grounds have paths lined with pines and cypresses and a viewing terrace with a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, overlooking the entire city and the river plain. Opening hours are limited and change from time to time. The site is about 20 minutes away by taxi or car, so check the opening times before setting out.
