While visiting both Cordoba and Granada on a trip a while back, I couldn't help but cry. Such tolerance, beauty, progressiveness, and spiritualism that was unseen in that time period, all gone. Lost in time, forgotten, destroyed... Al-Andalus, you will always be remembered!!!!

Today I read in Spanish news about the discovery of a 1100 year old mosque in Antequera, near Malaga. While most of mosques in Spain were either demolished or transformed into churches, this one has survived nearly intact because a manor house was built on top of the original structure. Despite being in a rural area the building is 1/4 the size of Cordoba’s Great Mosque, which is quite remarkable A foundation, FACNA, has been established to mobilize resources for its restoration. I hope they can manage.

Hey rick steves 😊 I've been in Córdoba on April 2015 and I went inside the mosque-cathedral of Córdoba and it's very majestic. It is also one of the most beautiful cathedral that I've ever seen

[huecotrapo]

wonderful film, thanks and congratulations from Córdoba (ESP).

Y’all in the comments are so angry...I loved looking at both the mosque and the church. You need to stop believing one was better than the other, both were equally important and impressive

[libanwarsame]

Cordoba will always live under the shadow of its past Islamic glory.

[Therealroyalfx]

So Hagia Sofia should be Converted to Mosque.

[sheikhsahab]

We will take it back one day inshallah

Antes de la mezquita había una basílica cristiana construida por los visigodos

[antoniom]

the mosque was built on the old Visigothic church, so it was only once again a church, but it was Gothic in style.

[RojoAndalu]

The Mezquita was a Christian Temple what the Moors destroyed and build a mezquita.
