Cordoba's neoclassical municipal palace, built in 1905, is worth a quick look for its stairway covered by a historical mural created in 2010 by Jaime Sanches Nava. The local artist's work can also be seen in the Museo del Café Córdoba and some of the cafes on the ground floor of the Portal de Zevalllos.
