Spain - Córdoba, Mezquita

Spain - Córdoba, Mezquita
Construction of the Great Mosque of Córdoba started in 798 by Abd al-Rahman I. The building is considered being the most beautiful expression of Islamic art in Spain. It was the place of worship for the rulers of the western Islamic empire Al-Andalus. The so called Mezquita is a jewel of Hispano-Islamic art with its 850 columns, double arches and Byzantine mosaics.

In the year of 1236 Córdoba was conquered by Fernando III and the mosque was consecrated as a cathedral. The cathedral canons ordered in 1523 the center of the mosque pulled down to make way for a gothic transept and apse, later embellished with renaissance decorations and in the mid-18th century baroque choir stalls and pulpits.
