This dream can come true at the Palacio de los Córdova in Granada, a venue that encapsulates the essence of a romantic wedding. If you are looking for a magical setting for the most important day of your life, let us tell you why this palace is the perfect choice.
1. Historia y encanto del Palacio de los Córdova
The origin and history of the Palace
The Palacio de los Córdova was built in 1530 by Luis Fernández de Córdova, a prominent member of the nobility of Granada. Originally located in the Plaza de las Descalzas, the building was moved stone by stone to its current location in 1960, in the Cuesta del Chapiz, one of the most picturesque spots in the city. This Renaissance palace has remained a living testimony to the historical grandeur of Granada and the cultural richness that characterises Andalusia.
The building itself is a reflection of classical elegance. With a mixture of Renaissance architectural elements and Mudejar touches, the Palacio de los Córdova has been the scene of stories for centuries. What was once a family residence has been transformed over time into one of the most emblematic places to hold events, maintaining its exclusive character and romantic essence.

Architecture and details of the palace
What sets the Palacio de los Córdova apart is its ability to transport you to another era from the moment you walk through its doors. Its arched galleries, cobbled courtyards, decorative fountains and halls with carved stone details evoke an atmosphere steeped in history. The Andalusian patios, with their traditional tiles and wooden details, add an air of serenity and charm, creating the perfect setting for a wedding.
The architectural ensemble is completed by an impressive historic garden, ideal for outdoor ceremonies or for welcoming guests during the cocktail reception. The details have been carefully preserved, ensuring that each space in the palace tells a story and adds a touch of magic to every celebration.

The magical setting of the Alhambra and the Albaicin
Located on the slope that joins the Albaicín with Sacromonte, the Palacio de los Córdova offers unparalleled views of the Alhambra and the Generalife, two world heritage icons that add a special aura to the venue. Celebrating your wedding in these surroundings means immersing yourself in the most authentic essence of Granada, with its golden light at sunset and the distant murmur of life in the cobbled streets.

Echoes of Moorish legends, white façades and panoramic views that blend nature and architecture make the Palacio de los Córdova a perfect setting for those seeking a wedding surrounded by history and mystery.
