Palacio de Viana
A noble palace with 12 courtyards and a garden, known as the 'museum of courtyards' and an epitome of Córdoba's patio festival.
Palacio de Viana was begun in the 15th century and expanded by successive noble families. It brings together 12 courtyards of different styles and one garden: the colonnaded courtyard, the orange courtyard, the well courtyard and others, each with its own character, most beautiful when the flowers bloom in spring. The rooms display furniture, porcelain, tapestries and leatherwork. You can buy a courtyards-only ticket (about €8) or a combined ticket that includes an indoor guided tour. It is closed on Mondays. Located in the northeast of the old town, it is about a 20-minute walk from the Mosque-Cathedral.
