Prepare yourself to explore the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, an absolute must-visit if you're planning a trip to this city.
Recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this building is considered as one of the finest examples of Moorish architecture. On your journey, you'll be treated to a guided tour led by expert historians, guiding you through a temple that has been the silent observer of countless historical events.
You'll delve into the various stages of construction, beginning with the remnants of the ancient Visigothic basilica of San Vicente that still stand today, progressing to the old mosque erected by Emir Abderraman I and subsequent expansions up until the Almanzor period. Following the city's capture by the Christian army, the Mosque was transformed into a Cathedral and took over several warehouses due to the expansion under Caliph Al-Hakam II for liturgical celebrations. In later years, the existing transect of the Cathedral was constructed.
To round off your tour, don’t pass up the chance to savour a traditional Andalusian tapa and a pint of beer.
