Things to do in Cordoba, Andalucia: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Córdoba was once the premier city of the Western World, the greatest metropolis west of Constantinople, and the seat of Europe’s first university. Today, there’s a modern commercial center, but most travelers love strolling the town’s ancient cobblestone streets, peeking through gates for glimpses of lush flowers and beautiful tiled fountains.

Roman Catholic church that was once a mosque. Blending many architectural styles, the structure evolved over the centuries.

I suspect I’m in a curmudgeonly minority for whom the many fellow tourists apparently more concerned to photograph their visit (and of course themselves) than to feel anything while they’re there detract from the experience, so I’ll move on to the Mezquita Cathedral of Córdoba itself: it is genuinely awe-inspiring. The atmosphere and beauty of the place, the record-in-stone of historical events, artisanal craft, religious devotion, riches and power are worthy of buying a postcard or book to record the place, leaving you free to be, well, moved (or even, if you like, well-moved;).

This small museum is packed with wonderfully informative exhibits in both English and Spanish on the history, achievements, and hardships of Spain’s Sephardic Jews. It is very weworth investing an hour or two to explore.

The Mirhab de la Mezquita is an area within the Mezquita, or the Cathedral, which is the spot where a Muslim is meant to go to pray. The spot marks the direction of Mecca, the holy Muslim city where Islam is meant to have started. The Mirhab in this Mosque/Cathedral, is very exquisitely decorated. It has been designed in the famous horse shoe shape forming an arch. Behind the arch is a private room where prayer is meant to take place. The decoration is just absolutely astounding. What is also a wonderful design is the beautiful dome that is located right above the Mirhab.
