The top 3 Mezquita tours in Cordoba
Mezquita tours in Cordoba are the best way to experience this great mosque that stands as one of the earliest and greatest monuments of Islamic Spain. Still remarkably well preserved, the mosque’s art and architecture tells the story of early Al-Andalus.
The great mosque was built from 785-988 by the Umayyads. Even after the Umayyads had fallen, the Mezquita survived to shape the consciousness of subsequent Islamic empires for another 700 years. Today, it’s the main highlight in the city of Cordoba.
Access to the Mezquita is strictly limited to a certain number of visitors each day. For this reason advance bookings are strongly recommended.
