This building is officially called politically correct: "The Mosque-Cathedral Complex in Cordoba." But colloquially, the name is shorter — the Mosque "Alhamah", or simply "Mosque", or "Mesquite".As in most other cities with a history dating back thousands of years, most of the buildings stand in place of those that existed before. So, once in the center of Roman Cordoba there was a temple dedicated to the sun god. Later, the Visigoths built the temple of San Vicente in its place. After the transfer of the city to the Arabs in 711, both Muslims and Christians used it together, dividing it into two zones. But the prosperous city grew rapidly, space became scarce, and in 786, Abdarrahman I bought the Christian part of the church and some other buildings around. In just a few years, a magnificent mosque was built on this site.Columns, capitals, and stone from various Roman and Visigothic structures in Spain, Europe, and even Africa were used to speed up construction. Therefore, the oldest part of Mesquite is actually an archaeological museum.Later, as the city grew, the Mosque was expanded three times under different rulers: under Abdarrahman II and Alhakim II, the length increased to the south, to the river, and to the north, due to the expansion of the courtyard. Under Vizier Almanzor (Al Mansour), the largest increase in the complex took place, almost doubling, due to an extension on the eastern side. As a result, the total area reached almost 24 thousand square meters.Before going inside, we walked around this giant rectangle from three sides. As always, with the arrival of Christians, Muslim and Christian details began to become closely intertwined. For example, on the southern facade there are Christian frescoes and sculptures under the Arab arches.

In the southern Spanish city of Cordoba, there are many streets and alleys in full bloom, the most prestigious, belong to Baihua Alley. The alleys around the Grand Mosque are dense like nets and curves. From the main road outside the north wall of the Grand Mosque, walk into an alley for nearly 50 meters, and you can find the alley of Baihua Alley. The alleys are about1.5 meters wide and 100 meters long, and the courtyards of the houses on both sides are in scale; the rectangular square at the end of the alley (the alley is a dead alley), and the souvenir shops around are exquisite and beautiful. Compared with many alleys nearby, the scenery can be described as small and similar. Along the same - white walls stand across the alley, rows of blue basins against the wall and hang, a cluster of flowers blooming. Difference - into the depths of the alley, looking back at the beautiful life, the flowers and branches of the front line of the sky, reveal the appearance of the Grand Mosque tower, the classic perfect match, the well-deserved Cordoba tourist card.

The ancient Roman bridge, the ancient landmark of Cordoba, spans the Guadalquiville River and connects the old and new city. The 16-hole stone arch bridge, which is 238 meters long and 16 meters wide, was built in the ancient Roman era (about the 1st century AD), and the Moorish era was expanded (after the 8th century AD) and formed the existing scale. On the banks of the river, the old and strong stone bridges and the elegant and atmospheric skyline of the old town on the north bank are reflected; Look carefully - the pier arch retains a thousand years of imprint, highlighting the wisdom of the ancestors (the pier's waterfront side is a tip shape, the back water side is a round end shape, which reduces the impact of the river on the pier, but also slows the water flow to the river bed). Walking across the bridge, the square stone bridge, the solid concrete bridge railing, has 80% new color; in the middle of the bridge, the white statue of the patron saint of Cordoba, the angel of San Rafael, is also a scene.

Wandering through the Alhambra, I found myself immersed in a tapestry of Islamic artistry and Andalusian history. The intricate carvings of the Nasrid Palaces mesmerized with their geometric patterns and delicate stucco work, reflecting the interplay of light and shadow. The Generalife's lush gardens offered a serene oasis, adorned with vibrant flowers and tranquil fountains that echoed the sound of flowing water. From the Alcazaba, the ancient fortress, I beheld sweeping views of Granada below, framed by the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains. Each courtyard and archway told a story of Moorish culture and sophistication, evoking a sense of timelessness and wonder. As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting a warm glow over the red walls, the Alhambra revealed itself as a sanctuary of beauty and history, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

I highly suggest the audio guide or a real guide to fully understand the amazingness of the Cathedral. It is so large and didn't feel crowded. I suggest tickets in advance but if you can't commit to a time, the line moved pretty quickly.

Built in the 13th century, the Nasserius Palace has been renovated and expanded by King Sultan of all ages, and the sun is perfect, reaching the peak of Islamic architectural art. Several different courtyards represented by the atrium of myrtle and lion atrium are hidden in the towering city walls, between green trees and flowers, carefully and cleverly laid out, exquisite architecture, fine and complicated carvings...mysterious dream, easy to move, luxury and wealth are all in it.

My recent visit to Plaza España in Sevilla was an unforgettable experience, highlighting the architectural magnificence and cultural richness of this iconic Spanish landmark. Designed by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, the plaza is a stunning example of Renaissance Revival architecture, with a unique blend of Moorish elements that pay homage to Spain's rich history.As I walked along the semi-circular brick building, I was captivated by the intricate ceramic tiles, known as azulejos, depicting the history and culture of each Spanish province. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in these artworks were astounding, offering a colorful mosaic of Spain's diverse regions. The bridges crossing the small canal, which reflects the beautiful façade, added to the romantic atmosphere of the plaza.The expansive central square, with its large fountain, was a vibrant gathering place for locals and tourists alike, echoing with the sounds of flamenco music and the sight of traditional dance performances. The grandeur of the Plaza España, set against the backdrop of Seville's clear blue skies, provided a picturesque setting that was both awe-inspiring and inviting.Exploring the Plaza España was not only a visual feast but also a deep dive into the cultural heart of Seville. It stood as a testament to the city's historical significance and its ongoing celebration of Andalusian culture and traditions. This visit left me with a profound appreciation for Spain's architectural beauty and its rich tapestry of history and art. visit it!
