The church of Santa Marina, whose full dedication is Santa Marina de Aguas Santas, is a Catholic church located in the city of Córdoba (Andalusia, Spain). It is one of the so-called Fernandina churches, that is, those built by King Ferdinand III of Castile, called the Saint, after the conquest of the city by the Hispano-Muslims in the 13th century. Its architecture combines protogothic, Mudejar and, to a lesser extent, late Romanesque elements and elements.
The church, among the oldest of the Fernandino group, was built in the second half of the thirteenth century in the place where a Visigothic temple was first located in the seventh century and later, although this data is only likely, a Mozarabic mosque, those that are not the least vestige. In the Middle Ages it bordered on the wall that separated the Ajerquía from the Villa, as well as with the disappeared Puerta del Colodro. Today, it gives name to one of the most traditional districts of the city, popularly known as the bullfighters neighborhood because of its tradition. In front of the main façade, the homonymous Plaza de Santa Marina, presided over by the Manolete Monument.(1)
