Overview
The Mezquita (Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most visited monuments, but there’s so much to see inside, it’s hard to know where to start. This tour takes in all the highlights, including the Maqsura, the Mihrab, and the Patio de los Naranjos, and guarantees your entry to the often sold-out sight.

Great building. Poor headset
Lidvar_F, Mar 2026
A magnificent building and great details. But communication with the guide via the headset worked poorly with very poor sound quality

Incredibly impressive architecture
Anka P, Mar 2026
Great building with exciting history. Very nice English speaking guide, who could be listened to well and who knew a lot. It was a pity that the entire tour lasted only 1 hour, although it was given as 1.5 hours. I would have liked to know more ...
Excellent informative tour
Clare_F, Mar 2026
If you want to know the detail about the history of this incredible building, this tour is well worth it. The rich history bought the architecture alive and understand how what you see today developed over the centuries. The only issue is that due to regulations you do not have any time afterwards to revisit areas of particular interest for a second look.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Clare, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you found the tour informative and that it helped bring the history of the Mosque-Cathedral to life. Regarding the time inside the monument, as you mentioned, access conditions are regulated by the monument authorities, and guided visits must follow a fixed schedule without the possibility of remaining inside afterwards. We truly appreciate your understanding and your feedback. Best regards, OWAY Tours

5 minutesPatio de los Naranjos
Patio de los Naranjos, main entrance of the Mosque Cathedral. We will have the opprtunity to have an introduction about the origin of the current building and the changes along the time.
10 minutesMezquita Cathedral de Cordoba
We will enjoy this impressive building and how it is conserving the decorative style of an Islamic mosque, construction of the magnificent monument began in the 8th century. Later extensions vastly increased its size, turning it into the second biggest mosque in the world before it became a Catholic cathedral.
