Casa-Museo del Guadamecí Omeya
Plaza Agrupación de Cofradías
Córdoba, September 2023
“This Museum-House is unique in the world as it shows the recovery of the original Omeya techniques to work on the leather used like decoration. All this thanks to our master Mr. Ramón García Romero and Jose Carlos Villarejo García, research artists on Caliphal and sumptuary techniques which were developed in Cordoba in the 10th century. In particular, you will learn on the genuine Omeya labour regarding their git-leather panels (guadamecies), which became extraordinarily famous around the world due to their esthetic quality and outstanding beauty. This gilt-leather panel (guadamecí) was a really appreciated piece which showed a plant and geometric design. It consisted in gilding the leather so as, later, to get it polychromed and ironed and used almost exclusively in important houses and palaces.You can visit us individually, in pairs or group. You can know this Museum-House freely (free entry) or accompanied by an interpreter guide in Spanish, English and French. Discover these Omeya gilt-leather panels (guadamecies) as well as the famous cordwains (cordobanes).Remember our entry is free, but if you really want to feel and live this authentic and unforgettable experience, we highly recommend you to book our interpreter guide who will accompany you in a trip through time and how the different actors have intervened in the museum to keep these artistic values alive.” (Casa del Guadameci Omeya, Andalucia.org)
