The experience
The city of Córdoba is packed with culture, and you'll find plenty of it at the Mosque-Cathedral – one of Spain's most prominent monuments.
Join your guide for a tour and discover the humble history of this former Islamic place of worship. See the varying architectural styles, ranging from Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque.
Walk through the jungle of columns and arches, learn how it became a Catholic cathedral back in the 13th century, see the ornate apse (mihrab), and find out how and why it was once shared by both Christians and Muslims!
