The Mezquita Catedral de Cordoba, also known as the Great Mosque of Cordoba, is a magnificent building that combines a mosque and a cathedral. Built in the 8th century and remodeled in subsequent centuries, it stands as a masterpiece of architectural history and a representation of the mix of cultures that have dominated the city of Córdoba since its founding. It's a site of great beauty with a grandiose entrance, geometric courtyards and lovely galleries of arches and horseshoes. Inside, visitors can admire the unique convergence of Islamic and Christian art made up of floor mosaics, stained glass, Arab inscriptions, and elaborate retablos. The 19th-century basilica and Capilla de Villaviciosa provide further evidence of the original styles embraced by this architectural wonder, forming the climax of any Cordoba excursion.
