Don't forget to look up when walking through this cheerful district; the balconies and facades are full of flowers, especially in spring.
Alcázar Viejo or San Basilio, named after the church that stands here, is your neighbourhood if you like patios (courtyard gardens) and greenery. Especially in spring, when the flowers are in bloom, it is beautiful here. Spaniards have known this for some time; from all over the country they come to admire Córdoba's patios with their own eyes. Walk down Calle San Basilio and admire the facades and balconies full of flowers. Of course, you will also find historical architecture here; almost the entire district is surrounded by the old city wall and the royal stables from the 16th century, the Caballerizas Reales, can also be found here.
