Built in the 8th century during Muslim rule, and then converted into a Catholic church, La Mezquita is a typical cultural and architectural symbol of Andalusia.
Located in the heart of Cordoba, La Mezquita is a very convenient area for tourists. From afar, you can see the towering bell tower and temple tower, creating a wonderful picture with the blue sky and brilliant white roofs. When you step inside, you will be impressed by the blend of Islamic and Catholic architecture, creating a unique and strange space.
With hundreds of marmar stone columns, La Mezquita creates a large and impressive space. Sunlight streaming through colored windows creates wonderful light paintings on the floor. You can walk around the stone pillars, admire the exquisite decorative details, and feel the sacredness and sanctity of this place.
In addition to unique architecture, La Mezquita also has a large garden with cool green trees and a peaceful lake. This garden is the ideal place for you to rest and relax after sightseeing. You can find a seat next to the lake, admire the colorful flowers, and enjoy the peaceful space of this place.
La Mezquita is also located close to many restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops where you can enjoy local cuisine and shop for meaningful gifts. If you have time, spend a few more hours exploring the beautiful city of Cordoba with its small streets, large squares, and traditional old houses.
