The Palacio de Viana, known as the Courtyard Palace, is one of Córdoba’s most elegant noble
residences. Dating back to the 15th century, this grand mansion showcases the city’s
traditional architecture with twelve beautifully designed courtyards, lush gardens, and richly
decorated rooms filled with art, furniture, and historic artifacts.
Each courtyard features its own unique style — from Renaissance designs to Moorish
influences — making the palace a living museum of Andalusian patio culture. The Palacio de
Viana perfectly combines history, art, and horticulture, offering visitors an authentic glimpse
into Córdoba’s aristocratic past.
