Calle de la Hoguera

This alley zigzags between Céspedes and Deanes streets. It is a place rarely visited by locals and visitors alike. It is a living reminder of what might have been Muslim Cordoba. Halfway along the alley, we are surprised by a small minaret called Mezquita de los Andaluces, an Andalusian oratory, dating from the 12th century and restored in the 20th century.

The mosque consists of a small entrance courtyard and a prayer hall with a single nave. Next to it is the Averroes International Islamic University of al-Andalus, now closed. After passing under the arch of the minaret, we come to a small square with an arcade on one side covered by a wooden coffered ceiling.

From there, a small alleyway finally leads us to Deanes Street.
