Description

Immerse yourself in the history and architectural splendour of one of the most iconic monuments in the world: the Great Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba. You will be amazed by its incredible maze of majestic columns, a masterpiece of art and engineering. Discover the Islamic origins of this unique building, originally designed as a mosque, symbol of the heyday of the Emirate of Cordoba. Learn how, in the 13th century, this sacred place was transformed into a Catholic cathedral, merging Islamic and Christian architectural styles in exceptional harmony. See the iconic two-tone horseshoe arches that support the hundreds of marble, jasper and granite columns, creating an atmosphere that is both mystical and solemn.
