The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, also called Mezquita, is one of the most famous landmarks of Spain.
The breathtaking Mezquita is one of the most beautiful and unique churches in the world. It is an absolute must-see in Spain.
The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is an architectural masterpiece and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visiting gorgeous Mezquita tops the list of the best things to do in Cordoba, Spain.
The impressive Cathedral of Cordoba had a turbulent past. It was a Visigothic church at first, but it got converted into a mosque during the Moorish rule and later into a Christian cathedral after the Christian Reconquista of Spain. Therefore, the cathedral adorns a unique mix of architectural and artistic styles.
However, the Moorish and Renesssaince styles dominate its final outlook. Granite, marble, jasper, and stone columns with Moorish-style red-white striped arches decorate the interior.
So, if you are traveling to southern Spain, put the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba on your itinerary!
The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is open from 10 am to 6 pm from Monday to Saturday. It is also open for visiting on Sundays and holidays from 8.30 am to 11.30 am and from 3 pm to 7 pm.

3. Casa Batllo – Barcelona
One landmark you won’t want to miss out on seeing, at least from the outside, is the famous Casa Batllo. This iconic building, which is located in the center of Barcelona, Spain was designed by the well-known Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. People from all over the world flock to this amazing structure to admire its unique architecture and learn about Gaudi’s creative vision for Casa Batllo.
And for those who choose to go inside, you’ll be able to interact with the house and see the colorful ceramic tiles and spectacular stained-glass windows up close. There’s even a self-guided audio experience available where visitors can learn about how Gaudi incorporated symbolism into nearly all his designs and how each room was utilized.
In addition to admiring Casa Batllo’s architecture, visitors can enjoy a drink or two at Casa Batllo’s scenic rooftop bar. Here, guests are also afforded the opportunity to take in the views of Barcelona from a unique vantage point.

4. Finisterra- Galicia
Have you ever been to the end of the world? In Spain, you can. Or at least what the Romans considered to be the edge of the world. Cape Finisterre (the name literally translate to end of the earth) is one of the most famous landmarks of Spain.
This natural rock formation lies at the westernmost point of Galicia. On top of the hill stands a lighthouse with a restaurant inside. From Finisterre (or Fisterra in Galician) you have a beautiful view of the wide open ocean and the bays on either side.
But Finisterre has become especially popular among pilgrims walking the Camino. Many consider it the true end of the Way of St. James, rather than the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostella. This is because at Finisterra there is a 0.0 km marker, which you won’t find in Santiago de Compostella. It’s a popular place to take a picture, as is the metal statue of a hiking booth.
The easiest way to visit Cape Finisterre is by car. Most tourists, however, visit as part of an organized tour to several highlights of Galicia, which makes for a great day trip from Santiago de Compostella. There are no entry fees or official opening hours, as this is a public place. During the middle of the day, it can become quite crowded, so I would recommend visiting in the morning or evening.

Commissioned by King James I of Aragon in the 13th century (after the island was conquered by the Crown of Aragon from the Arabs), it was built mostly in Gothic style and took almost 400 years to complete.
Apart from its gorgeous facades, inside, you can marvel at the altar’s unique canopy, designed by the infamous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi in the 20th century, as well as admire the cathedral’s main rose window, which creates a light phenomenon you can only witness each February 2nd and November 11th.

10. City of Arts and Sciences
Valencia is a gorgeous city with so many great things to discover. One attraction that should definitely be on any Valencia itinerary is the City of Arts and Sciences.
Despite the name, which might lead you to believe that this attraction is a city in its own right, this park in Valencia is home to various buildings.
Upon reaching the grounds, you may feel you’ve landed in another world – perhaps a futuristic landscape. That’s because the buildings look so different from the rest of the cityscape.
Each of the buildings is home to its individual attraction. Perhaps the most famous building here is L’Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium of its kind in Europe. But also, the Hemisfèric stands out with its peculiar construction even from the outside. Inside, there is a small cinema where interesting films are shown in 3D or Imax Dome film format.
In addition, the Natural Science Museum of Valencia, the Palace of Art of Queen Sofía, and the CaixaForum Valencia, which hosts various temporary exhibitions, are located here. As you can see, there is something interesting to see for every visitor. So it’s definitely worth a visit, even if you’re simply wandering around the grounds and admiring the fascinating buildings.

11. Aqueducts of Segovia
The Aqueducts of Segovia are one of the most intact and awe inspiring examples of Roman ingenuity in all of Europe. Built over 2,000 years old, the nearly two-story high aqueduct still greets you as you enter this must-see small city of Segovia.
The Aqueducts, also known in Spanish as El Puente or “the bridge,” were built in 50 B.C..Their purpose was to supply water from the Rio Frío through the city to the town’s castle or Alcazar. And water still moves over this ancient structure.
And if the sheer size isn’t impressive enough, note that the aqueducts were built with little to no mortar. So to stand at their feet and look roughly 30 feet in the air is to see Roman engineering at its finest. The Aqueducts are so impressive that they were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
There are no opening times or entrance fees at the Aqueduct, as it literally serves as the gate to the old town of Segovia. And today, you can trace the path of the water by following brass markers in the cobblestone that indicate where the water moves from the aqueducts above you to under the stones under your feet.
And Segovia is an easy day trip from Madrid. You can travel by car, a bus out of Moncloa or a high-speed train from Chamartín station in Madrid. The journey takes about 1 hour, making it a wonderful day trip from the city.

13. Penon de Ifach in Calpe
The Penyal d’Ifac, also known as Peñón de Ifach, is a rocky outcrop just outside the Spanish town of Calpe and is certainly one of the most beautiful attractions in Spain. The mountain rises 332 meters high from the sea. It is about one kilometer long and has a size of 47 hectares.

La Lonja de la Seda (the Silk Exchange) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of several things Valencia is famous for. La Lonja is one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture in Europe and was meant to represent Valencia’s financial and commercial power at its peak. At the time La Lonja was built, between 1482 and 1533, Valencia was the leading trading city on the Mediterranean.
Built entirely of limestone, La Lonja is a complex of three buildings around a walled courtyard. The main hall is enormous and richly decorated. This was where traders met, traded goods, and signed contracts.
In the side wing is the pavilion where the first commercial court in Spain had its seat. The richly decorated ceiling here is often regarded as a masterpiece of medieval art. The third part of La Lonja is the Tower, which the court used as a prison to imprison merchants with unpaid debts.
When in Valencia, you really cannot miss this building.

19. Alhambra – Granada
One of the most visited landmarks in Spain is, without a doubt, the Alhambra fortress in Granada, Andalucia. Even if you are restricted to exploring Granada in one day, you should make sure you spend 3-4 hours exploring the ancient Moorish complex. The complex consists of the Alcazaba, the splendid Generalife Gardens, the Nazrid Palaces, and the Palace of Charles the V, built after Granada’s Christian reconquest. The Nasrid Dynasty, the last Moorish rule in southern Spain, built the first structures. The first written evidence shows it was built in the 9th century.
Originally, it was purely for military use, but later, in the 13th century, it became the residence of more than one royal family in the coming centuries. The Alhambra and Generalife were declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984.
Visiting the Alhambra in Granada needs some planning as the tickets sell out quickly and often a whole month in advance. For this reason, it is recommended to book as soon as you know that you are heading to Spain so you do not miss out on this incredible site. Tickets through the official ticket office are 14 Euros, but you can opt for guided tours too so that you can learn more about the complex when visiting.
