The Cordoba Cathedral is in the city of
Cordoba, Spain. It was builut in the year 785
by the dominating Muslims as a mosque. Then in
1236 King Ferdinand III reconquered Cordoba. He
ordered the mosque to be turned into a cathedral.
It's facinating to see both Islamic and Christian
infulences in this beautiful place. The beautiful
high ceilings, the columns, the religious icons---
it just took my breath away.
