Córdoba
Córdoba is a historic city in southern Spain, renowned for the Great Mosque of Córdoba (Mezquita-Catedral). Founded by the Romans, it flourished as the capital of the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate in the 10th century, becoming a major center of learning and culture. Its unique architecture reflects layers of Roman, Islamic, and later Christian history, most famously seen in the mosque’s interior forest of columns and red-and-white arches.
