Cordoba And The Glory Of Its Moorish Past

The best way to experience Spain is to visit Andalucia -the essence of Spain and a land of flamenco, bullfights and passion. 

Andalucia simply fascinates with its intriguing and mysterious spirit.

The first stop of our trip is Cordoba. Founded by Romans, the city reached its greatest glory when it became the capital of the Moorish kingdom of El-Andalus. In this period was built the magnificent Great Mosque -"Mezquita", which – within centuries became one of the largest in whole Europe.

The huge 800 years old building has been a church, then a mosque and later converted to a Christian Cathedral again. Despite of the reconstructions, most of the typical mosque architecture remains.

Nowadays the Cathedral is well known with its dimensions and impressive decorations and was declared as a Unesco World Heritage site.

The main stop for us is the Cathedral, the most outstanding building in the city center. 

The yard outside is so beautiful with the orange trees but not even from here we can imagine how magnificent the interior is.

The cathedral is the highlight of our stay in Cordoba. It is opened for public in the morning, before the mass and in the afternoon.

The interior is decorated with more than 800 fabulous arches 

combined with superb decorative elements.

As lovers of history and culture we are fascinated by this impressive cathedral. Every corner of it reveals excellent views towards unique treasures and brings the spirit of Cordoba’s past. Just one of the greatest places we have ever visited!

So unique combination of Moorish and Christian architecture.

Absolutely spectacular place with its unusual mix of Christian and Muslim styles.

The Cathedral in Cordoba is just unique in the world. One has to see it to understand how stunning it is.

The impressive garden with orange trees reveals excellent views towards the tower. We spend several hours here just admiring the beauty.

Cordoba is so amazing with its unique atmosphere. For us the time spend here is an unforgettable and breathtaking experience. This is just an amazing historical city to remember and recommend.
