====Fernandine churches==== The city is home to 12 Christian churches that were built (many as transformations of mosques) by Ferdinand III of Castile after the reconquest of the city in the 13th century. They were to act both as churches and as the administrative centres in the neighborhoods into which the city was divided in medieval times. Some of those that remain are: [[File:Santa Marina en Cordoba.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Santa Marina (Córdoba)|Iglesia de Santa Marina de Aguas Santas]], built in the 13th century]] * [[Iglesia de San Nicolás de la Villa (Córdoba)|San Nicolás de la Villa]]. * [[Iglesia de San Miguel (Córdoba)|San Miguel]]. * [[San Juan y Todos los Santos]] (also known as Iglesia de la Trinidad). * [[Santa Marina (Córdoba)|Santa Marina de Aguas Santas]]. * ''San Agustín''. Begun in 1328, it has now an 18th-century appearance. The façade bell tower, with four bells, dates to the 16th century. * ''San Andrés'', largely renovated in the 14th and 15th centuries. It has a Renaissance portal (1489) and a bell tower from the same period, while the high altar is a [[Baroque art|Baroque]] work by [[Pedro Duque Cornejo]]. * [[Iglesia de San Lorenzo (Córdoba)|San Lorenzo]]. * Church of ''Santiago''. * [[San Pedro (Córdoba)|San Pedro]]. * [[Santa María Magdalena, Córdoba|Santa María Magdalena]]. Like the others, it combines [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]], [[Mudéjar]] and [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] elements. * [[Iglesia de San Pablo (Córdoba)|San Pablo]]. In the church's garden in the 1990s the ruins of an ancient Roman circus were discovered.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.artencordoba.co.uk/ROMAN-CORDOBA/Roman-Cordoba-Circus.html |title=Discovery of a Roman Circus in Cordoba |publisher=Artencordoba.co.uk |access-date=7 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830151806/http://www.artencordoba.co.uk/ROMAN-CORDOBA/Roman-Cordoba-Circus.html |archive-date=30 August 2012 }}</ref>
