The Casa de las Cabezas is one of the symbolic buildings of Cordoba.

The house is a real testimony of what life was like in another era. In addition to its intrinsic architectural value, this residence is steeped in history and the scents of legend: it was in fact a fortress of Almanzor. In some of its corners, Monsieur de Salas contemplated the severed heads of his children, presented on a silver platter. Tradition also says that, as trophies, the heads were displayed in the alley, hung one in each arch, so this narrow path has so far retained seven arches, and this is the name by which it is sometimes known.
