Cordoba the Magnificent

Trust me when I tell you that Mel and I have seen many, many churches/cathedrals in our travels.  But the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Mezquita, was unique  to us.



The Mezquita is an architectural marvel built by the Moors in the 8th century.  It was then converted into the city's cathedral in the 16th century.  Many of the builders hired for the rebuilding were Moorish and Jewish (from the Jewish Quarter of the city).  The result is an indescribably beautiful combination of those designs.
