I had always wanted to see this mosque converted to church and its well worth the visit. Try to avoid visiting on a Sunday as it opens at 2 pm then and there are too many tourists there. The mezquita should be better organised as there are no signs to explain the various sections. I did not take an audio... more

I have been to this mosque/cathedral twice in 3 years. It costs 8 euros to get in. This is a beautiful mosque which has a catholic church built inside it. It is for me personally one of the oddest things imaginable- beautiful but bizarre and well worth a visit if you are into history, architecture etc. Just behind the mesquite... more

The Mezquita is one of the great architectural sites in Southern Spain. With respect to some of the other postings in this forum, this is not the appropriate place to rehash or perpetuate religious strife. The Mezquita is an amazing achievement and should be cherished by people of all religions! We were deeply impressed with the re-appropriation of this sacred... more

Upon reaching... more

On entering this building the beauty of the old mosque grabs you and the walls show some of its old splendour.The open space of the building and roof can give you some idea of the majesty of... more

While Cordoba itself was not my favorite city, the Mezquita was well worth the stop, just to see the optical effect of the seemingly endless red and white arches (let's not talk about the Christian cathedral they built in the middle of the mosque, a hice building but totally out of place.) more

I almost missed the point of this building. Escpaing from the intense heat of Cordoba, and this in May, I was happy to wander around the impressive Mezquita and simply wonder at the scale of it. The place is huge with row upon row of pillars supporting what must have been the world's alrgest roof at the time of its... more
