The Juderia of Córdoba is located in the center of the city northeast of the Mosque-Cathedral, in the area of the following streets: Deanes, Manríquez, Tomás Conde, Judíos, Almanzor and Romero.

Today, there are very  few Jews or Muslims living in Córdoba but their influence remains in the architecture: the synagogue and the mosque and synagogue. Neither now functions religiously.

Córdoba was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994.
