The entrance to the Hall of Mosaics is located in the gallery where the Roman sarcophagus and the bust of Seneca are.
This room is next to Alcázar's North Wall and is located on top of the vaults of the Doña Leonor Baths. The hall has a rectangular plan and it is covered by a vault of lunettes and transverse arches which are decorated with geometric patterns typical of 18th century Córdoba. A key part of the decoration of this hall which should be mentioned are the Roman mosaics, dating from 2nd and 3rd centuries and discovered during construction work in the remodelling of Corredera Square. These lavish mosaics adorn the walls of the room, giving it its name.
This room was originally constructed to be the Inquisition Chapel where the autos-da-fé would be officiated, but then underwent renovation in the 18th century. Subsequently, this building became a prison after the Inquisition reached its end in 1820. Today it is named Salón de los Mosaicos (Hall of Mosaics) and it is used by the town council for the official public events and civil marriage ceremonies.
