Visit Cordoba Spain - A City of History | Magnificent Mezquita
Our trip to Cordoba, Spain 2013. Córdoba is a city in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It was an important Roman city and a major Islamic center in the Middle Ages. It’s best known for La Mezquita, an immense mosque dating from 784 A.D., featuring a columned prayer hall and older Byzantine mosaics. After it became a Catholic church in 1236, a Renaissance-style nave was added in the 17th century.
During the process known as the Spanish Reconquista, Córdoba was captured by King Ferdinand III of Castile on 29 June 1236, after a siege of several months. The city was divided into 14 colaciones, and numerous new church buildings were added.The centre of the mosque was converted into a large Catholic cathedral.

Cordoba, Spain Grand Mosque, UNESCO World Heritage Site, La Mezquita, Spain’s most important histo
travel videos & photos at: with text, maps & links.
The Grand Mosque of Córdoba in Spain was chosen the most important historic treasure of Spain in a major Spanish public poll in 2007.
The building is most notable for its vast interior space, with 856 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite. at one time it contained 1283 columns.
There are nineteen aisles from east to west, and thirty-five from north to south.
You appear to be walking about in the silent depths of a great forest rather than in a building; whichever direction you turn to, your eye strays along rows of columns, which cross each other, and lengthen out endlessly, like marble trees growing from the soil. When you walk in.. you feel transported suddenly into another world… overwhelmed, fascinated, amazed and filled with wonder.
this architecture is like a living thing, with a canopy of flowing curves above you formed by the double rows of crossed arches, like the interlaced branches of great trees.
The double arches were a new introduction to architecture, permitting higher ceilings than would otherwise be possible with relatively low columns. The double arches consist of a lower horseshoe arch and an upper semi-circular arch. The full height of the ceiling is able to reach 35 ft.
It was once lighted by more then ten thousand gold, silver and bronze lamps, suspended from the ceiling,
There was originally a Roman temple dedicated to Janus on this site, then a Catholic Christian church built by the Visigoths.
When Muslims conquered Spain in 711, the church was first divided into Muslim and Christian halves, each party worshipping in its respective portion, because the Moors never denied religious liberty to the conquered people. They maintained a harmony between cultures in those days. Seventy years later, the Moors purchased the other half from the Christians and then demolished the entire building, in order to build the grand mosque of Córdoba. A beautiful gilded dome soars high over the Maksoureh, an anteroom for the caliph and his court in front of the mihrab
The mosque underwent numerous subsequent changes and reached its current dimensions in the year 987 with the completion of the outer naves and courtyard.
Construction of the mosque employed thousands of artisans and labourers, over hundreds of years. Moorish kings could afford this because the were greatly enriched by the acquisition of the valuable mines of Iberia, the quarries of marble, and other sources of wealth.
It became the second biggest mosque in size, after the Holy Mosque in Mecca,
The main hall of the mosque was used for a variety of purposes. It served as a central Prayer hall for personal devotion, the five daily Muslim prayers and the special Friday prayers. It also would have served as a hall for teaching and for Sharia Law cases
The edifice also has a richly gilded prayer niche or mihrab. The mihrab is a masterpiece of architectural art, with geometric and flowing designs of plants.
When Córdoba was taken by King Ferdinand III in I 236, the mosque was reconsecrated as a Christian cathedral,
The kings who followed added further Christian features, but little alteration was made in the original structure. It was in I523 the unfortunate idea possessed the bishop, to build a new church in the middle of the Mohammedan temple.
columns were pulled down, the larchwood ceiling was destroyed, and the Christian church was built, very Spanish in its large proportions and wealth of ornament.
Charles V You have built here what you, or any one, might have built anywhere else ; but you have destroyed what was unique in the world.
There are historical and cultural reasons why such an amazing building was constructed and has survived for a 1,000 years. Córdoba has always been a very important place. Even today is has the largest urban area in the world declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
2,000 years ago at the time of Julius Caesar, Córdoba was the capital of the Roman province of Hispania Ulterior. With the fall of Rome it was conquered by the Visigoths and then it was conquered by invading Islamic armies in the eighth century.
Córdoba became the capital of the Islamic Emirate including most of the Iberian Peninsula.
It has been estimated that in the 10th century Córdoba was the world's biggest city, and for several centuries was one of the most advanced cities in the world -- a great center of culture, politics, and finance.
Córdoba had 3,000 mosques, splendid palaces, 300 public baths, medical schools, universities and what was then the largest library in the world, housing from 400,000 to 1,000,000 volumes. it had also become a center for education under its Islamic rulers.

Existing History - Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, Spain
In this episode, we explore the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba. Originally built in 785, the Mezquita-Catedral has undergone many changes, including conversion from a mosque to a cathedral after the Reconquista in the 13th century. Even so, well over a thousand years later, it remains the center of worship for Córdoba, Spain.

A Walk Through the Cathedral At Cordoba - La Mezquita, Spain
The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba), also known as the Great Mosque of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita de Córdoba) and the Mesquita, whose ecclesiastical name is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is the Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Córdoba dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and located in the Spanish region of Andalusia. The structure is regarded as one of the most accomplished monuments of Moorish architecture.
The site was originally a small temple of Christian Visigoth origin, the Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent of Lérins. When Muslims conquered Spain in 711, the church was first divided into Muslim and Christian halves. This sharing arrangement of the site lasted until 784, when the Christian half was purchased by the Emir 'Abd al-Rahman I, who then proceeded to demolish the original structure and build the grand mosque of Córdoba on its ground. Córdoba returned to Christian rule in 1236 during the Reconquista, and the building was converted to a Roman Catholic church, culminating in the insertion of a Renaissance cathedral nave in the 16th century.
Since the early 2000s, Spanish Muslims have lobbied the Roman Catholic Church to allow them to pray in the cathedral. This Muslim campaign has been rejected on multiple occasions, both by the church authorities in Spain and by the Vatican.

Lost For Words Exploring Cordoba, Spain ????????| Mesquita, Cordoba
Welcome to a new vlog from Cordoba, Spain and in this video I will show you how to travel Cordoba in a day! Cordoba, Spain is a beautiful city in Spain’s southern Andalucian region filled with tons of beautiful architecture and a really unique history. To start off my day in Cordoba, I head to a local bakery for breakfast to try a Pastel Cordobes, which is a local pastry here in Cordoba, Spain.
After a delicious breakfast, I went to the main attraction in Cordoba and a place you must visit on your one day in Cordoba, the Mesquita Catedral. The Mezquita Catedral, otherwise known as the Mosque Cathedral, is both a mosque and a cathedral, and potentially the most unique religious monument I have ever visited. Inside the Mesquita Cordoba (Mezquita Catedral) is a beautiful cathedral that is still in use today, and right next to the Cathedral are the remains of the old mosque, with beautiful red and white arches. The Mesquita Cordoba (Mezquita Cordoba) is truly a special place. I would recommend getting your tickets online in advance before visiting the Mesquita Cordoba, otherwise, you can also visit between 8:30 and 9:30am for free! Any day in Cordoba must include a trip to the Mezquita Catedral!
After visiting the famous Mosque Cathedral in Cordoba, Spain, I walked through the Street of Flowers, which is a beautiful, narrow alleyway with tons of flowers and colors. Next in my Cordoba Spain Vlog, I went to the Palace of Christian Kings, or the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos, which is an old fortress in Cordoba with tranquil and beautiful gardens to explore. The Palace of Christian Kings is another must visit on your one day in Cordoba, Spain.
Next in my Cordoba Vlog, I walked around the Jewish Quarter, otherwise known as La Juderia, which is another area of the city that you must visit when you travel Cordoba in a day. The Jewish Quarter in Cordoba is filled with beautiful, white narrow alleyways, and there is even an old synagogue to visit as well.
Walking through the countless parks, gardens, and patios is another must do activity during your 24 hours in Cordoba Spain. So, next on my Cordoba Spain tour, I walked through the Gardens of Victoria and the Agricultural Gardens, which is a nice pedestrian walkway lined with tons of tall palm trees. After walking through the Agricultural Gardens, I walked to Plaza de las Tendillas, which is one of the main plazas in Cordoba, Spain. Plaza de la Corredera is another beautiful plaza in Cordoba, filled with a few cafes and tons of beautiful red arches. Next, I visited Palacio de Viana, which was one of my favorite areas in Cordoba, Spain and a must visit on your one day in Cordoba. Palacio de Viana is home to 12 different courtyards, each with their own unique and beautiful charm.
For dinner in my Cordoba Spain Vlog, I went to a restaurant to eat some Rabo de Toro, which is bull/ox tail, and is a famous dish here in Cordoba. If you only have one day in Cordoba, it’s a must try meal! To end my day in Cordoba and my Cordoba Spain walking tour, I head to the Roman Bridge (Puente Romano) for sunset.
I hope you enjoyed my Cordoba Spain Travel Vlog and are looking forward to your one day in Cordoba!

Tiny Tour | Córdoba Spain | Visit the old town around the Mezquita Catedral de Cordoba | 2021 Oct
Córdoba is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. It is the third most populated municipality in Andalusia, after Sevilla and Málaga, and the 11th overall in the country.
It was a Roman settlement on the right bank of the Guadalquivir, taken over by the Visigoths, followed by the Muslim conquests in the eighth century and later becoming the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba.
Córdoba is home to notable examples of Moorish architecture such as the Mezquita-Catedral, which was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and is now a cathedral. The UNESCO status has since been expanded to encompass the whole historic centre of Córdoba, Medina-Azahara and Festival de los Patios.

In 784 the Emir Abd al-Rahman I demolished the original structure and built the grand mosque of Cordoba. The architects incorporated a number of Roman columns in a Moorish design with choice capitals, and alternating red and white voussoirs of the arches.
The richly gilded Mihrab or prayer niche has a dazzling dome lavishly covered with gold mosaic.
There are 856 Moorish columns of jasper, onyx, marble, granite and porphyry in the Mosque.
