With the special Cordoba Great Mosque Tour, you will discover one of the most emblematic historical vestiges of Spain and a treasure of reference worldwide.
There is no doubt that one of the most visited historical places in Spain is the Mosque of Cordoba; That is why we have a Cordoba Great Mosque Tour with an official local guide.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984 and a unique jewel in the world and not only in Spain.
The history of this incredible place dates back to the 8th century, since that time there were many changes and extensions, there are even some controversial studies that cast doubt on the origin of the first construction.
In all cases, all historians agree that the Mosque is the work of the Muslims who ruled this territory for 8 centuries (711 and 1492).
Its forest of columns (856) that maintains arches (365) gives it a unique appearance worldwide, a design that several nations tried to replicate, but not with the beauty that characterizes the Great Mosque.
Great Mosque has a large number of doors that differ depending on the use that is given to each one; since they are ceremonial doors, for example: the Deanes, Las Palmas, del Perdón, Santa Catalina and much more.
It should also be noted that, inside, several members of the performs are buried; Fernando IV of Castile (1285-1312), Alfonso XI of Castile (1311-1350), Enrique of Castile (1378-1404) among others.
After the Christian kings expelled the Muslims from Spain; the Great Mosque became a Cathedral that is now known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady.
Most part of the Mosque/Cathedral is currently limited to tourist visits, but services are held: Masses on Business Days in the Cathedral Choir, Masses on Sundays and Holidays at the main altar of the cathedral and confessions.
With our tour, you will discover the Andalusian jewel in depth and be amazed with many curiosities that without a local guide it would be impossible.
