Set out on a guided tour of Córdoba's most iconic monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cathedral-Mosque of Córdoba. Guided by a historian, this tour will give you the opportunity to explore a living temple which has witnessed numerous historical events.You'll learn about the different building stages from the ancient Visigoth Basilica of San Vicente whose remains are still visible, to the original mosque built by Emir Abderramán I and its subsequent extensions until Almanzor's reign. When the city was reconquered by Christian armies, the mosque became a cathedral, taking over several naves of the expansions carried out by Caliph al-Hakam II. The current transept was built later on. Admire the wonderful work of art of the cathedral and see how the Islamic and Christian cultures coexist in this incredible monument.

Soaring double arches, granite columns and intricate geometric decorations: the Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba (also known as the Mezquita) is a serene yet awesome beauty. Not only a magnificent example of Moorish and Islamic architecture, it’s also a fascinating reflection of the city’s past and the many civilizations that once inhabited it.
