In Cordoba, there are three pieces of sculpture of the first order, both for their artistic and historical value. The Iberian Lion of Nueva Carteya, which belonged to a funerary monument, is one of the most beautiful examples of Iberian art (Archaeological Museum); the Madinat Azahara Fawn (10th century) is a unique figure of an animal, with very elegant proportions, in bronze related to Fatimid art in Egypt (Archaeological Museum); and the 3rd century AD Paleochristian Sarcophagus in the Alcázar of the Christian Kings.
All these remarkable sculptures can be found at the Museo Arqueológico y Etnológico de Córdoba, which houses a vast collection of artefacts that showcase the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. A visit to this museum offers a fascinating journey through time, from prehistoric times to the modern era.
The Last Supper by Pablo de Céspedes (1595) is a very remarkable painting, full of strength and vigour by a key painter of Andalusian Romanticism. The Collection of drawings and Calvary in the Prison or of the Inquisition by Antonio del Castillo (1649) is a work of the greatest intensity in baroque painting at Cordoba, housed in the Fine Arts Museum. This artist is known for his great capacity and careful synthetic form.
To explore these remarkable works and more, we recommend visiting the Fine Arts Museum of Córdoba, which houses a vast collection of artworks that showcase the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
Among many others around the province, there is the Fountain of the King by Remigio del Mármol (1802) in Priego, a curious and infrequent old-world composition; Christ Tied to a Column by Pedro Roldán (1675), an excellent baroque carving in the church of Santiago at Lucena; and a remarkable 17th century figure of Christ in carved polychrome wood, known as the Christ of the Fall, located in the convent of Santa María Magdalena in Baeza.
Cordoba's rich artistic heritage, spanning from ancient Iberian sculptures to baroque masterpieces, offers a fascinating journey through time. Whether you're exploring historic monuments or modern galleries, the region's art scene is sure to captivate and inspire.
