this is the undoubted calling card of Cordoba, as well as one of the brightest sights of all Andalusia. Mezquita is the largest mosque built in Europe, and in the Middle Ages it was considered the second largest mosque in the world. In addition, the Cordoba Mosque is generally recognized as the most grandiose and beautiful mosque in Spain, inherited from the Moorish period. Its significance and grandiosity cannot be overestimated, because it was Cordoba in the 10th century that was the capital of the caliphate formed on the territory of Spain, which ruled all the emirates, which at that time belonged to the Muslims of Spain. Mezquita is located in the center of Cordoba on the banks of the Gualalquivir River among the old Jewish and Moorish quarters. I wrote more about it here http://snake-ji. livejournal. com/126567.html
