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 - Balcony View from Baños de la Encina

With the majestic Castillo de Baños de la Encina (also known as the Castillo de Burgalimar)  behind it´s easy to see why it was built here. The vast plains stretch into the horizon. Today we see marching rows of olive trees rather than the enemy approaching.
