Why gift a star map of Cordoba?
Gifting a star map of Cordoba means capturing the magic of a city where the Mezquita's arches seem to echo the infinity of the firmament. Heir to the Caliphate's golden age, when al-Andalus astronomers charted the stars with unrivalled precision, Cordoba carries in its sky the memory of convivencia and the beauty of its flower-filled patios beneath the celestial vault.
The sky of Cordoba
At 37.9 degrees north latitude, Cordoba inherits an exceptional astronomical tradition dating back to the Umayyad Caliphate, when its scholars built observatories and perfected the astrolabe. Today, the Sierra Morena Starlight Reserve, just a few kilometres north of the city, offers one of Europe's purest skies for astronomical observation, with some of the lowest light pollution on the continent.
