Cordova (Córdoba in Spanish) is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba.
The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic cathedral and former mosque situated in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain. Under the rule of Islam, it was built as the second-largest mosque in the world, and is perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was transformed into a church, and some of the Islamic columns and arches were replaced by a basilica in early Baroque style. Today it houses the main church of the diocese of Cordoba in Spain. ( from wikepedia)
The mezquita is still on restoration stage when we were there .It is amazing to see lots of muslim influence in Spain .
