Plaza del Ángel de Torres

We were in the city of Cordoba in Spain and came across a small plaza called “Plaza de Ángel de Torres”.  The plaza was located in a quiet area in the old jewish quarter.

The small plaza was secluded and was very pretty with orange trees, benches, and a fountain. We walked through the plaza admiring the ornate building which was one of the main features of the plaza.

We then noticed that the plaza floor was made to represent tiles using small individual stone. Upon a closer look each “tile” was actually a symbol or image. They were made using small smooth stones of different colours.

Some of the “tiles” were very interesting and creative. We saw religious images, creative designs, words and images of ordinary daily items.

Small stones used to made represent a tile with the word “PAZ” which means peace in Spanish.

We spent time looking at the different “tiles” and admiring the creative work that was done in the plaza.

The plaza also had some large orange trees which were full of oranges.

The plaza was very quaint and a very inviting spot to spend some relaxing time. We enjoyed finding this secluded plaza in the old quarter of Cordoba.
