Cordoba -- Monuments
La mezquita de Córdoba, the Cathedral Mosque.
Cordoba's Mosque has a mixture of different architectural styles, that have occurred over the past nine centuries.
The mosque lies in the historic heart of the city, and is one of the most beautiful examples of Muslim art in the whole of Spain. The Moslem emir Abderrahman I ordered construction of the temple in the year 785 on the ruins of the old Visigoth church of St. Vincent. During the centuries that followed the Mosque underwent several changes. Abderrahman III ordered a new minaret, while Alhaken II, in 961, enlarged the plan of the building and the mihrab was decorated. The last of the reforms was carried out by Almanzor in 987. As a result of all the work, the interior of the building is a myriad of row upon row of beautiful columns and horseshoe arches. In 1523, following the Christian conquest, the cathedral was built inside. Of note here are the main reredos, the Baroque reredos and the mahogany choir stalls. The mihrab is one of the most notable in the whole of the Muslim world, and is the most noble part of the mosque. The interior decoration is full of Byzantine mosaics and marble. The Naranjos courtyard serves as an entry point.
