Once the former residence of the Marquis of Viana, Palacio de Viana contains a vast collection of tiles, furniture, tapestries, porcelain, paintings, muskets, and a 7,000-volume library. With its ornate Mannerist facade, the 16th-century building stands as an architectural gem. After viewing the museum’s collection, stroll through the gardens and beautiful patios, which have been added over time by successive occupants of the palace. Visitors with reduced mobility can use the mapped route passing through nine out of the 12 patios.

Quiet and romantic 12 patios and a palace - absolutely worth visiting. Here you can explore the patio culture of Cordoba and better do this instead of waiting at long queues in front of the small...

We toured the patios on a beautiful sunny April day. Each was so unique. I could have stayed there for hours but my husband and son really enjoyed it too. You can go at your own pace. It made me so...

We visited to just see the courtyards/patios as you can do on a separate entrance fee if you don't want to visit the main house. There are 15 patios to visit here, you also do get to see a few rooms of the house as well. The visit was well worth it as every patio is unique, some ranging from just a few square mts to a few very large ones. If you want to visit the house it's a guided tour only in Spanish. There are toilets available and a visitor shop . Would recommend.

Surprisingly nice! Patio after patio, after patio! Initially you'd think it will be 2 or 3 rooms to visit but it seems a never ending walk. Worth every penny once you're in the area! Ps. We've visited during siesta and we were the only people strolling around. Different kind of experience.
