Córdoba

Córdoba has a rich history of ceramic production, particularly during the late medieval and early modern periods.

The city’s unique cultural context, influenced by the Islamic occupation, has contributed to its distinct ceramic traditions.

Córdoba was an important center of Islamic culture and learning during the Middle Ages. The Islamic occupation introduced new ceramic techniques and styles, which continued to influence local production even after the Christian conquest in 1236.

This legacy is evident in the city’s ceramics, which often feature distinctive Islamic motifs and techniques.

Córdoba’s ceramic production has maintained traditional techniques and forms inherited from the Islamic period. These techniques, such as the use of yellow and green glazes, have been preserved and continue to characterize the city’s ceramics.

Córdoba is a significant regional ceramic production center, with a focus on local and regional markets.

The city’s ceramics have played a significant role in it’s history, reflecting the cultural and economic interactions between the city and its surrounding regions. They have also been found in other areas, such as Priego de Córdoba and Villamartín, demonstrating the city’s connections and influence in the region.
