Filigree is a silver and goldsmith\u2019s technique using fine strands of metal, usually silver and gold, which are intertwined to form delicate tracery. We offer the chance to learn at the hands of a master silversmith, sharing his tools and workbench. We\u2019ll show you the tools needed to execute a work of filigree and guide you in the task of designing and mounting your own souvenir, which you can keep as a delightful memento of your stay in Cordoba.   <\/p>\n<p>And after the workshop what could be better than to stroll through the magnificent Old Town \u2013 a UNESCO World Heritage Site \u2013 to savour Cordoba\u2019s historic and legendary alleyways as we head to another exceptional venue: a workshop where the secrets of Andalusian jewellery are jealously guarded, with its delicate techniques dating all the way back to the 10th century. We\u2019ll finish our day in that other gem of Cordoba: its taverns \u2013 where the gold is not so much crafted as imbibed \u2013 and we\u2019ll discover the intimate relationship between the taverns and Cordoba\u2019s guild of silversmiths.<\/p>\n<p>Cordoba is the city of silver. The tradition of working precious metals goes back thousands of years and its quality has been recognised since the Roman era, when the sierra to the north of the city was an endless source of precious metals. During the Ummayad Caliphate, gold and silversmiths from all over the world flocked to Cordoba to discover techniques and metals they could not find in the rest of Europe. By the end of the Middle Ages, the guild of silversmiths was well established and activity reached a peak in the 16th century thanks to the precious metals that arrived from the Americas. These days Cordoba boasts the highest concentration of craft jewellery workshops in the whole of Spain and accounts for 60% of the national output. This is largely due to the fact that Cordoba\u2019s artisans have been able hand down their techniques from generation to generation, so that now the city is one of the largest and most renowned centres of jewellery production in the world.      <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Silver and filigreeTOURS \/ ARTISANSThe artists of C\u00f3rdoba, a celebrated homeland of goldsmiths and silversmiths, worked continuously with exquisite delicacy for this lively filigree.
