Top 10 Architectural Buildings in Cordoba, Andalucia
Córdoba was once the premier city of the Western World, the greatest metropolis west of Constantinople, and the seat of Europe’s first university. Today, there’s a modern commercial center, but most travelers love strolling the town’s ancient cobblestone streets, peeking through gates for glimpses of lush flowers and beautiful tiled fountains.

Roman Catholic church that was once a mosque. Blending many architectural styles, the structure evolved over the centuries.

I suspect I’m in a curmudgeonly minority for whom the many fellow tourists apparently more concerned to photograph their visit (and of course themselves) than to feel anything while they’re there detract from the experience, so I’ll move on to the Mezquita Cathedral of Córdoba itself: it is genuinely awe-inspiring. The atmosphere and beauty of the place, the record-in-stone of historical events, artisanal craft, religious devotion, riches and power are worthy of buying a postcard or book to record the place, leaving you free to be, well, moved (or even, if you like, well-moved;).

The Mirhab de la Mezquita is an area within the Mezquita, or the Cathedral, which is the spot where a Muslim is meant to go to pray. The spot marks the direction of Mecca, the holy Muslim city where Islam is meant to have started. The Mirhab in this Mosque/Cathedral, is very exquisitely decorated. It has been designed in the famous horse shoe shape forming an arch. Behind the arch is a private room where prayer is meant to take place. The decoration is just absolutely astounding. What is also a wonderful design is the beautiful dome that is located right above the Mirhab.

The building belonged to a palatial house located in the central core of Cordoba. In 1236, the place became the property of the Fernandez de Cordoba family, Lords of Aguilar. In the 16th century, Pedro Nunez de Herrera lived there, whose position as "bailio" gave name to the house. The tardogothic facade is attributed to Hernan Ruiz II and stands out the plateresque decoration of the tympanum.
