Tour of Cordoba on ‘When We Ruled Spain Tour’ – October 2011

By on January 26, 2012 with No Comments

Video highlights and feedback of our tour to Cordoba in October 2011. This elegant city was once the capital city of the Moorish kingdom of Andalusia. As a result of this, it boasts the “Great Mosque” or “Mezquita”, one of the most fascinating buildings in the world. This building was built in the 8th century and was the largest and most beautiful mosque outside of the Middle East and it is now the Cathedral of Cordoba. We visited the picturesque Jewish quarter to explore the labyrinth of winding narrow streets, shaded flower-filled courtyards and attractive squares. We visited the Synagogue, the only one remaining in Andalusia, dating from 1315. The walls are adorned with plaster work of plant motifs and epigraphs referring to the psalms, and Song of Songs.
