A merging of faiths

The mosque cathedral of Cordoba is a unique building which has been a place of worship for the world’s two major faiths. Built over 1200 years ago in a moorish style during the Islamic emirate that once covered southern Spain, it was converted to Christianity around 500 years later following the reconquista. Today the building is testament to the Islamic architecture that was highly influential within Andalusia as well as an important place of worship for the city’s Catholics.
