Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba
The Great Mosque of Cordoba in Spain has enraptured travelers for centuries. Internally, it offers travelers to Cordoba a visual sensory overload with painted arches. Externally, the Moorish Renaissance architecture completed in 987 A.D serves as one of the most prestigious monuments of it's kind in the world. Returning to Christian rule after 5 centuries in 1236, the building was converted to a Roman Catholic church, along with building a Renaissance cathedral nave in the 16th century. Such an amazing history of architecture to explore.
