About The Great Mosque-Cathedral

Visiting this remarkable place constructed on the orders of Abd ar-Rahman I in 785, mosque and the later 16th century cathedral inside is an absolute must when in Cordoba, Spain. As one enters this vast courtyard, they will be blown away by its beauty and centuries-old culture which makes it one of most fascinating places to visit in Cordoba.

This unique Mosque-Cathedral is renowned for its arched gallery composed of 850 marble pillars - an arrangement - which include horseshoe arches, flat ceiling vaults and colourful patterns shaped with tiles and adorned with stars. Moreover, Islamic calligraphy art adorns the columns along with splashes of colour from marble mosaics covering floors throughout.

In addition to the old wood ceiling structure in the attic, multiple galleries were added during the age of Christian Reconquest making it a more robust yet astonishing blend of cultural architecture anywhere else in the world.
