Aurea of Córdoba was a 9th-century nun and martyr who belonged to a group of Christians executed during the period of Muslim rule in al-Andalus. Born into an Arab noble family with relatives serving as judges, she eventually sought religious life following the execution of her brothers. She spent thirty years living at the convent of Cuteclara, where she practiced her faith despite her family's background. Her commitment to Christianity eventually led to her arrest and subsequent death in 856.
