Plaza de Las Tendillas (Tendillas Square), Cordoba

Tendillas Square is a popular pedestrian area located between the historic quarter and modern business and financial district of Cordoba. The square is an ideal place to relax and hang out, thanks to the numerous restaurants, cafes, and benches located under the trees. In the middle of the square, there is a large fountain, and several trick fountains provide a refreshing atmosphere for children, especially on warm summer evenings.

The square is also known for the Tendillas Clock, which has been striking quarters since 1961. The clock is famous for ringing in the New Year and is a popular meeting point for thousands of revelers. Plaza de Las Tendillas regularly hosts various events, including the famous Christmas Market.

The surrounding area of the square has plenty of options to explore, including the ancient Roman Temple located only 200 meters east of the square. The Cruz Conde and Jesús María streets, two of Cordoba's favorite shopping streets, are perfect for a gentle stroll.

The square is surrounded by several buildings, including the Marín Fernández house built in 1926 in the modernist style on the corner of Gondomar street. Other notable buildings built around the same time include the La Unión y el Fénix building, the Telephone Central, and the Casa Colomera. In 1928, the Enríquez Barrios House was completed, ordered to be built by the Cordovan mayor to the architect Aníbal González, who was also building his famous Plaza de España in Seville at that time for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition.

One of the square's most remarkable features is the Monument to the Great Captain, made in 1923 by the artist Mateo Inurria. The monument was originally located on the avenue of the Great Captain but was moved to the square in 1927, despite neighborhood opposition at first.
