Great Mosque

Córdoba was the capital of Islamic Spain from the eighth to the eleventh century, growing into one of the largest and most intellectually vibrant cities of the medieval world. Its Great Mosque, vast library, and scholars such as Ibn Rushd and al-Zahrawi made it a center of civilization.

The Great Mosque of Córdoba (Mezquita) is one of the most magnificent examples of Islamic architecture. Built over two centuries by Umayyad rulers, it features horseshoe arches and represents the pinnacle of Moorish achievement in Spain.
