The rebuilt Palacio de los Córdova

A 16th-century palace reconstructed after two centuries of emptiness

The rebuilt Palacio de los Córdova in Granada, Spain, is a reproduction of the original that stood in the 16th century on an ancient Arab palace site. Álvaro de Bazán commissioned its construction, but later, it was owned by Luis Fernández de Córdova. By 1918, it became a residence and was demolished that year. Manuel Gómez-Moreno made drawings and preserved some remains of the original, while the new palace was built in its current location between 1960 and 1967. Today, it serves as the Archivo Municipal's home.
