This is one of the most important squares of the city and its main building is the church of la Compañía or church of Santo Domingo de Silos, which nowadays holds the Provincial Historical Archive.

Santa Victoria is a church located close to the square and it is a unique example of Neo-classical style of Córdoba. It dates from the late 18th century and it stands out because of its curved portico, which is held by six big columns and you can see it from the Plaza de la Compañía.

Calleja de las Flores
In the heart of the Jewish Quarter, near the Mezquita-Catedral of Córdoba, we find this peaceful alley, one of the most traditional in the city. Narrow and winding, it goes up a gentle slope to the small square where it ends. The balconies are filled with flower pots that fill the pleasant stroll of the visitor with a nice smell. From the fountain that centers the square we can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the tower of the Mezquita-Catedral.
