1. Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba

Mosques
MaxSThis building is officially called politically correct: "The Mosque-Cathedral Complex in Cordoba." But colloquially, the name is shorter — the Mosque "Alhamah", or simply "Mosque", or "Mesquite".As in most other cities with a history dating back thousands of years, most of the buildings stand in place of those that existed before. So, once in the center of Roman Cordoba there was a temple dedicated to the sun god. Later, the Visigoths built the temple of San Vicente in its place. After the transfer of the city to the Arabs in 711, both Muslims and Christians used it together, dividing it into two zones. But the prosperous city grew rapidly, space became scarce, and in 786, Abdarrahman I bought the Christian part of the church and some other buildings around. In just a few years, a magnificent mosque was built on this site.Columns, capitals, and stone from various Roman and Visigothic structures in Spain, Europe, and even Africa were used to speed up construction. Therefore, the oldest part of Mesquite is actually an archaeological museum.Later, as the city grew, the Mosque was expanded three times under different rulers: under Abdarrahman II and Alhakim II, the length increased to the south, to the river, and to the north, due to the expansion of the courtyard. Under Vizier Almanzor (Al Mansour), the largest increase in the complex took place, almost doubling, due to an extension on the eastern side. As a result, the total area reached almost 24 thousand square meters.Before going inside, we walked around this giant rectangle from three sides. As always, with the arrival of Christians, Muslim and Christian details began to become closely intertwined. For example, on the southern facade there are Christian frescoes and sculptures under the Arab arches.

旅の径The ancient Roman bridge, the ancient landmark of Cordoba, spans the Guadalquiville River and connects the old and new city. The 16-hole stone arch bridge, which is 238 meters long and 16 meters wide, was built in the ancient Roman era (about the 1st century AD), and the Moorish era was expanded (after the 8th century AD) and formed the existing scale. On the banks of the river, the old and strong stone bridges and the elegant and atmospheric skyline of the old town on the north bank are reflected; Look carefully - the pier arch retains a thousand years of imprint, highlighting the wisdom of the ancestors (the pier's waterfront side is a tip shape, the back water side is a round end shape, which reduces the impact of the river on the pier, but also slows the water flow to the river bed). Walking across the bridge, the square stone bridge, the solid concrete bridge railing, has 80% new color; in the middle of the bridge, the white statue of the patron saint of Cordoba, the angel of San Rafael, is also a scene.

旅の径In the southern Spanish city of Cordoba, there are many streets and alleys in full bloom, the most prestigious, belong to Baihua Alley. The alleys around the Grand Mosque are dense like nets and curves. From the main road outside the north wall of the Grand Mosque, walk into an alley for nearly 50 meters, and you can find the alley of Baihua Alley. The alleys are about1.5 meters wide and 100 meters long, and the courtyards of the houses on both sides are in scale; the rectangular square at the end of the alley (the alley is a dead alley), and the souvenir shops around are exquisite and beautiful. Compared with many alleys nearby, the scenery can be described as small and similar. Along the same - white walls stand across the alley, rows of blue basins against the wall and hang, a cluster of flowers blooming. Difference - into the depths of the alley, looking back at the beautiful life, the flowers and branches of the front line of the sky, reveal the appearance of the Grand Mosque tower, the classic perfect match, the well-deserved Cordoba tourist card.

旅の径During the Moorish rule, the tower of Calaola was built to protect the ancient Roman bridge. Two square towers, like mighty fighters, stood on both sides of the bridge at the southern end. After the Catholic Church recovered the lost land, the tower was expanded in the 14th century, and a third was added in parallel to the original two towers. With the vastness of the Guadalquivier River, it has become the southern gate of Cordoba and the military fortress that resists foreign enemies and is easy to defend. Today, the tower of Karaoula has been converted into an Andalusian museum, focusing on Cordoba's Islamic civilization. Among them, the model of the Great Mosque, which is restored proportionally, is most exquisite and eye-catching.

_M1***85The robot reviews here are really unreadable. . . The square is very large, located in the north of the old city, not far from the train station. There are some modern commercial and dining around, and there is a tourist information center on the south side.
