Casa Andalusí

About

Casa Andalusí in Córdoba is a charming museum that transports visitors into the refined world of Al‑Andalus. Tucked away in the narrow streets of the old Jewish Quarter, this 12th‑century house blends Islamic architecture, quiet courtyards, and the gentle sound of flowing water to recreate the atmosphere of medieval Córdoba. Inside, the museum showcases traditional craftsmanship, including paper‑making techniques introduced during the Islamic period, along with delicate ceramics, scientific instruments, and everyday objects that reveal the sophistication of Andalusi culture. Each room feels intimate and carefully curated, offering a glimpse into a time when Córdoba was a centre of knowledge, poetry, and artistic exchange. The house itself is part of the experience, with its cool interiors, lush patio, and subtle decorative details that reflect the elegance of Moorish domestic life. Casa Andalusí is a peaceful retreat that invites visitors to slow down and appreciate the city’s layered history through beauty, craftsmanship, and atmosphere.
