Hello! In today's video we will walk along San Basilio Street and see the beautiful Cordoba patios.
During the month of May, the patios of Córdoba are decorated with flowers and pots hanging from their walls, starting the Festival of Cordoba Patios, declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2012. This year 52 patios have participated in the contest.
Being a very hot city, the Romans and later the Arabs adapted the typology of the popular house to the needs. Being a place of coexistence, they placed the patio as a central element, placing abundant vegetation to increase the feeling of freshness. Normally in the center of this there is a well that was responsible for collecting rainwater.
