Cordoba:
Cordoba was the capital
of al-Andalus, the highly civilized Arab state in southern Spain.
During those days the city was dubbed the "Athens of the West".
The most important sight of Cordoba is without doubt the Mezquita; a
mosque converted into a cathedral in a rather brutal way. When Emperor
Charles the V visited Cordoba and saw how the old mosque, famous
around the world, had been made into a cathedral he is supposed to
have scolded the architects. A stroll around the Jewish quarter
with its maze like streets and nice patio's is also absolutely worth
your while. Websites about Cordoba:
