The
Mezquita - Cordoba, Spain: Spain's history of occupation and religious
overhaul is no better exemplified than through the Mezquita in Cordoba.
Nestled between Seville and Granada in the rolling hills of Andalucía,
Cordoba was once the capital of the Moorish emirate in Spain.
The
Great Mosque was built as the primary site of the Muslim religion in
the country, complete with traditional Muslim architectural elements
like arches and complex woodwork. In the 13th century, following the
Reconquista by the Christians, the entire complex was revamped into a
cathedral now known as the Mezquita.
