This was the Convent of Saint Claire, the first monastery for nuns in Córdoba after the conquest by the Christians, built in the 13th century over a mosque (from which the minaret still exists). Today, adjoining the church, a modern building complex has been designed to house the offices of several government agencies, connected through a series of patios reminiscent of Arab architecture.

The FLORA artistic intervention focuses on the most contemporary patios of the building, which are noteworthy because all of the carpentry, blinds, enclosures, walls and floors are white. In the Patios of the Well, the Pool and the Spectacles, you will not see flower pots, but rather built-in planters and plants on the floor. This is a unique labyrinth that also functions as a bridge between the architecture of the traditional patios and the most contemporary ones. A different way of interpreting the architecture of Cordoba.
