What was the Mezquita de Cordoba?

Answer 1

Answer 1

It is a beautiful place which has been transformed into a church but you can still go inside to look at it.

It was built by Muslims and when the Catholics conquered Cordoba they saw it and because it was so beautiful instead of thrown it down they left it the same but build inside it a church.

In Cordoba there are more places to visit such as the roman bridge and the patios in May and fair in May as well if you want to know more info about Cordoba you could come and visit it your self it is so beautiful when you come you would never want to go.

Answer 2

Cordoba is in Andalusia (Spain). Spain was the furthest point west to be invaded and conquered by Muslim empire-builders. The locals were not forced to convert to Islam as long as they paid protection money (jizya), which was the usual Muslim procedure. The mosque is stupendous and scary and does wonders for the local tourist trade. It was shared for some time between Muslims and Christians (Catholics, of course) before the Muslims were thrown out again. The building is now not a church but a cathedral, called Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

The Muslims must hate Spanish Catholics worshipping Mary in what was once a mosque, but at least they don`t have to pay to do it any more.
