Court of the Columns in Viana Palace, Cordoba (Spain)
Court of the Columns
This patio was recently built and it is used by Cajasur bank to celeb
rate shows and cultural acts, because it is very big. Its plan is rectangular and it is limited, on one of its higher side, by the Street Rejas de don Gome. In the middle there is a little fountain divided into two parts by two pools, bordered by two other fountains.
There are four smooth shaft columns put on a little shoultered arch, situated in one of the minor sidesof the patio (court), whose elements are put on wooden elements. The other gallery is made with porches and it appears with roman arches on ain columns and
it separes the patio of the garden of the palace.
The floor, as in other courtyards, is made with stonework, with lineal motives, with white on black. Of each square, bordered by plain bricks, a new square is built splitting up their corners in the middle of each one of the first, as a result there are four new triangles, decorated in the same way.
Referring to the vegetation of this place we can not speak a lot, because the place is going to be readapted. Although there are a lot of pots, that surround the pools, and other kinds of jugs.
