The city is also famous for its flamenco and bullfighting; all in all the city of Cordoba is a must see for cultural enthusiasts. You can fly to either Malaga or Seville airport to arrive to Cordoba; either way the fast AVE train travels into Cordoba from the airport. The city origins date back to the Roman occupation; with its location at the highest point of the Guadalquivir River, it became an important port city of high strategic importance. The Romans constructed the bridge that crosses the river, which is now known as El Puente Romano (The Roman Bridge). When the Moors conquered the city, it really became great, being the capital of the El-Andalus, the Moorish kingdom. Monuments such as the Mezquita (Great Mosque) were constructed. When the Christians re-conquered the city in 1236 they were astounded by the beautiful city that had been created and tried to keep in with much of the Moorish design when constructing their own cathedral and other monuments. The Christians also constructed the Alcazar Fortress, the Calahorra Ford and the Jewish synagogue, which is now a museum. The Jewish community had a great presence in the city, and the now medieval quarter of the city, used to be home for the Jewish community, it’s called La Juderia (The Jewry)
