The patio of the mosque of Córdoba is configured in the first construction, the one carried out by Abd al-Rahman I and Hixam I. Abd al-Rahman II will be the promoter of the colonnade that surrounds the patio that will be enlarged by Abd al-Rahman III, the same as the minaret. Almanzor will be the one in charge of enlarging the patio toward the east, concluding the decoration of the door of the Pardon. The conversion of the mosque in cathedral during the XVI century will suppose the end of the patio according to the Islamic tipología and the creation of this patio like withdrawal place before consenting to the temple. The current cloisters are product of the remodeling that was carried out in the first decades of the XVI century, for the bishop's command Martin Fernández of Angle, eligiendo to Hernán Ruiz I like architect in charge of the project. In the XIII century palms had been planted and in Xv data of the presence of orange trees exist, being added olive trees and cypresses in the XVIII one.
