The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is one of the most famous buildings in Spain and an outstanding example of the fusion of Islamic and Christian architecture. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts millions of visitors every year. Originally built as a mosque, it was later converted into a cathedral, which gives it a unique structure and history.

The site of the current Mosque-Cathedral was originally a Visigothic church dedicated to Saint Vincent. After the Islamic conquest of Cordoba in 711, the church was partially used as a mosque until it was completely converted. After the reconquest of Cordoba in 1236 by King Ferdinand III, the mosque was converted into a Christian cathedral. In the 16th century, a nave and central dome were added, which give it its current form.

A visit to the Mosque-Cathedral is highly recommended! The famous landmark is located in the heart of the old town and is an ideal stop on the tour. There are several bicycle parking spaces directly in front of the Mezquita-Catedral, especially at the Puerta del Perdón - the main entrance. As always, a good (alarm) lock is very useful.

The "Mezquita" is a mosque transformed into a cathedral, it is a symbol of harmony between religions because we can very clearly distinguish the mixing of Muslim worship with that of Christians, as well as the reuse of certain parts without the destruction of the symbols of the other. It is a true example of otherness and a sublime monument of beauty. There are a lot of small stalls around the Mezquita, where you can grab a snack.

The story that the architecture of this unique monument tells is so fascinating because it is a clear and simultaneous reflection of both the Islamic and Christian faiths.

The current mosque was built between the 8th and 10th centuries on the site of the Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente. After the Reconquista, in the 16th century, Christians built a Gothic cathedral right in the heart of this Islamic sanctuary, creating one of the most original buildings in the world.
