Monday Morning Photo - Palacio de la Merced, Cordoba

Once one of the most important buildings in Córdoba, Palacio de la Merced was founded in XIII century as a  Mercedarian monastery. When the order was dissolved it became an orphanage then in the 1970s a Provincial Government seat. The Baroque portal is in the middle of the enormous frontage, the cloisters and monastery church remain and services are still held there today.

Monday Morning Photo - My Favourite Cordoba Flower Patio

Detail stone mosaic from my favourite patio from this year's Cordoba Flower Patio Competition. There were of course many fabulous patios open during the competition and I only get around a fraction of them, 19 I think, a post will be happening shortly.



This year hubby (who is no fan of pots or flowers) came with me and admitted that on the whole he enjoyed the experience and it had made him aware of space and the importance of architectural features. Since then he has made me a long-wanted arch and I'm more likely to get my fountain now as well.
