The Great Mosque of Cordoba

The Great Mosque of Cordoba is a testament to the coexistence between the Islamic and Christian cultures. The mosque was constructed in 785 under the rule of Abd al-Rahman. Over the years, the mosque was converted into a church when Cordoba came under Christian rule. Today, the mosque's structure is an architectural fusion of Islamic and Christian elements. One of the most distinctive features of the mosque is the use of horseshoe arches in the design. Besides this, adding Christian elements like a bell tower, nave, altar, and choir, makes the mosque a true testament of cultural coexistence.

Visiting the mosque provides visitors with a cultural experience. Explore the prayer wall at the mosque, stroll through the courtyard filled with orange trees, climb the bell tower, and visit the cathedral. Don't forget to dress modestly, maintain silence at the place of worship, and remove footwear before entering the prayer hall.
