Day 8: Cordoba

05/25/2009

After we were done visiting Seville, we visited a small town called Córdoba. Córdoba is between Seville and Madrid. Córdoba is very unique for me because I am from Managua, Nicaragua and the money that we use is called Cordoba.

In this encantador place is the home of La Mezquita (Mosque). La Mezquita was the mosque for the Muslims. After the Christians reconquered the city from the Muslims, many mosques were destroyed. I was surprised that this one survived. In the middle of the Mezquita a Christian choir was built. This is the reason why La Mezquita survived.
