Capilla Mudéjar de San Bartolomé
About

The Capilla Mudéjar de San Bartolomé is one of Córdoba’s finest hidden treasures, a small yet exquisitely preserved example of late medieval Mudéjar art. Tucked within the former Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, the chapel dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, when Christian, Islamic, and Jewish artistic traditions intertwined to create a uniquely Andalusian aesthetic. Its interior is a masterpiece of geometric tilework, carved plaster, and painted ceilings that envelop visitors in a delicate interplay of colour and pattern. The horseshoe arches and intricate motifs echo the city’s multicultural past, offering a rare glimpse into the refined craftsmanship of the period. Once serving the parish of San Bartolomé, the chapel now stands as a cultural jewel, admired for its intimacy and elegance. A visit reveals not only architectural beauty but also the enduring legacy of Córdoba’s diverse heritage, preserved in a space that feels both timeless and profoundly atmospheric.
