Capilla Mudejar de San Bartolome (Chapel of St. Bartolome), Cordoba

The Chapel of Saint Bartolom茅 may be small, but it wears the 14th and 15th centuries with quiet confidence. Built in the Mudejar style鈥攁 meeting point of Islamic pattern work and Christian forms鈥攊t feels like a lesson in how two traditions can share the same walls.

Inside, the details are impossible to ignore. Blue and green tiles run along the lower walls, faded frescoes peek out near the ceiling, and a tall arched recess draws your gaze. Overhead, the hanging lamps break up the space like pauses in a well-told story.

Before stepping in, you pass through a courtyard paved in decorative stone, its symmetry softened by a tall palm and a three-arched portico. It鈥檚 a brief pause before the hush of the chapel.

Recognised as a historic monument since 1931, it sits quietly in C贸rdoba鈥檚 Jewish Quarter, offering a compact but layered glimpse into the city鈥檚 blended past.
