The Great Mosque of Cordoba.

The Great Mosque of Cordoba is known locally as Mezquita-Catedral. It is one of the oldest structures standing since 8th century. The Mosque of Cordoba was built by Abd al-Rahman in 784 who founded the Arab dynasty in Iberia. The Cordoba Mosque is indeed one of the most spectacular monuments of the world. It is also regarded as the most important monument of the Islamic world in the West. Streets around the Great Mosque are full of Gift stores, restaurants, ice-cream parlors and cafes.

Today the post is a little different. I wanted to tell you about the monument whose visit impressed me the most and whose architecture left me speechless. It is the Mosque Cathedral of Cordoba, a city in southern Spain, in the province of Andalusia.
