Córdoba mosque was a wonderful place to visit, the architecture is phenomenal and breathtaking, the sense of serenity and the vibes in the Mosque-Cathedral is nostalgic. We visited in December so weather was great, the monument wasn’t crowded and there is a plenty of space outside to walk around and enjoy the outside view.
This place is absolutely magical.. So much history in it.. It just mesmerises you. It was very busy but everything was running smoothly. The entire historical city is so clean and beautiful you will wish to stay and live there..
This mosque-cathedral requires little introduction. Here you have one of the greatest monuments of Spain and Europe’s most famous mosque, long since repurposed as a cathedral. Whether you admire the endless keyhole arches or the ornate Baroque chapel or the beautiful orange courtyard, this is a remarkable site.
Full of history and spectacular architecture. It was one of the most unique historical places I have visited. Getting to see the blend of Islamic and Christian influences in the architecture and reading about the history makes you kinda travel through time!
A must visit in Cordoba and one of great historical significance in light of human, religious, and architectural history. I highly recommend paying for a tour guide with a notable company. My tour guide was solely responsible for my awesome and educational experience. I did not go up the tower as I didn't have time to wait for entry but I'll definitely return one day so I can check out the view from up above. I recommend arriving early though it doesn't take too long to tour the entire mosque cathedral. The surrounding area is very interesting and worth exploring as well. The surrounding cities remind me of parts in the Assassin's Creed game series.
Absolutely stunning. Exquisite architecture, carvings in stone, wood and more. A fascinating and “must see” place to visit. Very interesting historically and much larger than it seems from the outside so give yourselves a good hour or more. Also worth getting tickets for the Bell Tower. Fabulous views - and you get up close to the enormous bells themselves. We were there as soon as it opened and didn’t have to queue for tickets. All very easy.
Thoroughly interesting building unlike any other I've seen before. Beautiful Islamic art and panelling on display. The arches are quite overwhelming in number but add such beauty to the building. Not crowded at all inside. Book ahead. The courtyard outside is also lovely for a shady walk.
If your a history lover this place is to be added to your list, this architectural marvel has gone from being a mosque to church to then a cathedral with its giant minaret turned church bell tower to its Islamic columns inside next to giant catholic relics and symbols all harmoniously blending together. Stepping inside was a moment of peace you can’t describe, the place is absolutely stunning with tall ceilings and proper lightning inside to set a mood. The green courtyard is spacious and has a water feature to take pics. This place is not to be missed I feel blessed to have witnessed this important piece of Spanish history.
