Each Islamic country has its capital city but if you mean the spiritual capital of the Islamic faith then it's the city of Mecca (Makkah).
It was not just an Islamic cultural center. At one time it was quite likely the cultural center of the entire non-oriental world.
Cordoba not Rome
No. Barcelona is a city. It is in Spain, which is a European country.
The city of Cordoba was founded as a Roman Colony in 169BCE. It still exists.
Cordoba invokes a great deal of pride in the hearts of Muslims. During the dark ages while the rest of Europe lived like barbarians in ignorance the Islamic Umah [Islamic or Muslim Nation] thrived and flourished. It Spanned 3 Continents with Cordoba being its capital. [Cordoba is a city in Spain conquered by the Islamic Umah.] While most of the word could not even read, Muslims had universities, and made strides in medicine and mathematics (the concept of zero and Algebra). They were master designers and builders of beautiful architecture. The calligraphy on many cathedrals is Arabic and not just a design; it says Illiah Illallah, the basic tenant if Islam.
