"The heritage of the Caballerizas Reales in Córdoba breathes the majestic history of Spanish horsemanship and culture, a timeless tribute to the beauty of the Andalusian tradition."

Impressive Architecture

In 1734, a devastating fire severely damaged the original structure, leaving only the outer and inner walls standing. Eleven years later, under the reign of Ferdinand VI, the stables were rebuilt. The structure remained largely intact, with the addition of King Charles III’s coat of arms above the main entrance.

One of the most striking features is the stable, once described by García Lorca as a "cathedral for horses." The space is divided into three naves, supported by arches and sturdy stone pillars, ensuring optimal ventilation and durability.

From Cavalry Barracks to Cultural Heritage

Starting in 1842, the complex was repurposed as a cavalry barracks. Until 1995, the 7th Army Depot housed over a hundred Andalusian and Arabian horses, used for dressage, carriage work, and breeding of military and civilian mares.
