Guided tour of the Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba
Discover the breathtaking Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a spectacular monument and symbol of the long history of the Andalusian city. This former mosque, built over one thousand years ago, was then converted into a Christian cathedral, but maintained the old structure of the Islamic place of cult, becoming a one of a kind monument and true gem of both Moorish and Christian art. On this walking tour, you will discover the history of the great Mosque of Córdoba, al-Andalus’ most emblematic monument, and how it became the most important Catholic church of the city. Walk around the forest of ancient columns made of marble, granite, jasper and take mesmerizing photographs. A local tour guide will tell you about the different parts of the building that combine both the Umayyad style of Spain as well as Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of the Christian tradition because of its long history and evolution over time.
