This is my story and I wanted to share it all to those travelers. See not just an ordinary another man made attraction in the Spanish land but one of the most interesting. The first time I saw the picture above- my thought flew to the Middle East and was surprised to be told it is indeed located in Spain.

It is not comparable in size to Sagrada Familia in Barcelona travel but equally interesting and historical. It was less talked in the blogs of the many but is worthy of every single attention that writers gave to it.

The picture above is just a glance of a small part of the whole Mezquita de Cordoba located in Cordoba. In the Spain Map, Cordoba is located in the southern part of the country. Cordoba was the cultural and artistic center during the 10th century and was anticipated as the biggest city in the coming centuries if not of the world but in Western Europe.

Cordoba collects the mementos left by the Catholic, Islamic and Jewish civilizations. Mezquita de Cordoba is just one of them. It boasts the largest and biggest mosque around the globe. The construction of this mosque begun in 784.

You will enter the mosque in the Patio de Los Naranjos to a couryard with Olive Trees and Cypresses planted in 18th century, Palm Tress and Orange Tress which you can also see from this courtyard the tower which was built in the 16th century and finished in 17th century.

The splendor of the first section of the mosque took the builders seven years to finish yet the result was comparable to the magnificence of the construction during the Hellenic civilization.

The transept has a mixture of Flemish and Hispano styles. The processional entrance will also delight the lenses of your camera for it is full of colors, designs and curves. Purisima Concepcion is one of the extensions and the biggest at that. Take note of the seven naves which are also part of the expansion in the 19th century. While in the next century, rows were added a total of 12 rows which are the biggest around the world. Villaviciosa Dome, is another chapel to love in the mosque and of course the Mezquita de Cordoba.
