Description

There are nearly two dozen entryways to the Mezquita-Catedral in Cordoba Spain, most of which are not accessible but are still historic and beautiful. Seen here from right to left are three doors on the west wall of the compound: Puerta de San Ildefonso, Postigo del Palacio, and Puerta del Espiritu Santo. The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba) is officially known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption. Due to its status as a former Islamic mosque, it is also known as the Great Mosque of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita de Córdoba) or the Mezquita. The mosque was built in the 8th century when Cordoba was under Muslim control. It was converted to a cathedral in 1236 when Cordoba was captured by Christian forces. The present day Mezquita-Cathedral is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing much of the historic core of Cordoba.
