Córdoba - Convento de Santa Clara

Córdoba - Convento de Santa Clara
Córdoba shares its history with so many cities in Southern Spain. It was Carthaginian and Roman (from 260BC on), later it belonged to the Byzantine Empire for two decade, got looted by the Vandals, before Visigoths conquered it in 572. In 711 it was taken by the by the Umayyad army and became a provincial capital.

In 976 a mosque was built here atop of a Christian church erected by the Visigoths. After the Reconquista the mosque was coverted into a nunnery and a basilica was built.
