Córdoba - Plaza del Potro

Adjoining the Museum of Art in Córdoba is the Museo Julio Romero de Torres, with a large collection of paintings by the artist of that name (1874-1930), who was the son of the director of the Museum of Art; they are mainly portraits of women.

Opposite the Meson del Potro is the entrance to the Provincial Museum of Art in Córdoba, housed in the former Hospital de la Caridad. It has pictures by Spanish masters, including Ribera, Murillo and Goya, and numerous works by the Córdoba-born painter Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra (1616-68).

To the east of the Plaza del Potro in Córdoba are the churches of San Pedro (13th century), with Moorish apses and two doorways from the original church, and Santiago, which dates from the time of the Reconquista, with a tower which was originally the minaret of a mosque.
