Cordoba is a fascinating city in Andalusia, southern Spain, which is rich in history and diverse culture. It used to be the capital of a Roman province, followed by a Muslim conquest and later becoming the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate. It is the only city in the world to have four UNESCO-protected sites. You will be able to see a mixture of Roman, Islamic, Jewish and Christian architecture in the city.
Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba is the top attraction in Cordoba. The Great Mosque known as as the Mezquita, was originally built by Abd. Ar-Rahman, who was a great believer in religious tolerance. It is interesting to know that few hundred years later, chapels and a cathedral was added and build within the mosque. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984, it was what convinced me to visit Cordoba during my travel in Spain in the first place.
