CHURCH OF SAN JUAN DEL CERRO

The oldest church in the city. Founded in the 7th century by the bishop of Egabro, Bacauda (a prelate from Egabro who participated in the 8th Council of Toledo), it offers us a peculiar piece inside. It is an altar (stone in the form of a pilaster) that, in Gothic characters, consecrates the church to Santa María on May 30, 688 (650 AD). It is the epigraphic manifestation of the oldest Marian devotion in the diocese of Cordova and one of the few in Andalusia.
