Mezquita - Cordoba, SpainThe Holy Cathedral Churchand The Former Mosque of Cordoba
The Cathedral and historic Mosque of Cordoba is the first and
foremost monument in Western Islam, and also one of the most sublime of its
type in the world. The temple is more than a historical and archeological
monument; it is a unique embodiment of over eight centuries of architectural
and artistic change. The building today is an expansion of the mosque built
by Abd al-Rahman I over the old christian basilica of San
Vicente.
