The Great Mosque Of Cordoba

The Great Mosque of Cordoba, Spain

The oldest works of architecture in Spain of which rests are left go back to the megalithic culture, approximately 3000 b.C. Anyhow, they are probably not exactly what you expect to find here. Lots of Roman monuments are conserved too, among the most important being the great aqueduct of Segovia and the amphitheater of Mérida.
             Absolutely stunning is what Moors have left in this country. The Great Mosque of Cordoba is one of the most visited sights by tourists, the other of course being Granada's Alhambra, which, is perfectly conserved, in its original condition.

The Christians who lived in Muslim territory were called Mozarabes, and so is called their particular architectonical style which, combines Visigothic construction technics and caliphal style. After the country was reconquered from the Muslims, Moorish architects who stayed developed another new style combining
