4.6
(79 reviews)

Discover the breathtaking Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a spectacular monument and symbol of the long history of the Andalusian city.

Walk around the forest of ancient columns made of marble, granite, jasper and take mesmerizing photographs. A local tour guide will tell you about the different parts of the building that combine both the Umayyad style of Spain as well as Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles of the Christian tradition because of its long history and evolution over time.
