Municipal Archives

The Guzmanes House, previously known as the Hoces House, was built on a site donated by King Ferdinand III, “the Saint”. What we see today is a 15th-century manor house with a typically Cordovan structure, its rooms arranged around two porticoed patios. The Municipal Archives are housed here, so the people of Córdoba come here to consult old documents needed when purchasing a house, posters, photographs and even the “Cemetery Records”. In sum, it is the city’s memory.

In the patio that FLORA will turn into a unique “paradise” there are three openings with Mudejar style coupled windows, cusped and festooned arches in which stone and brick alternate, dating from the 15th century. Also of note are the Mudejar coffered ceilings in the arcade that connects the two patios and the abundant plant life that is refreshing in summer and beautiful in winter.
