Arabs built here a big mosque. And then Catholic kings of Spain ordered to remove a part of the mosque’ roof and to built-in the cathedral. And this is famous Mezquita. For 8 euros you can see a forests of columns and ornate altar of the cathedral.
But Cordoba has more to offer: romantic Roman Bridge and a labirynth of the narrow streets in the Old Quarter.
I stay in the tiny and very cozy Hostal Trinidad just 50 m from the wall of Mezquita. Clean single room with shared bath costs me 20 euro. The only problem is street noise – bring your earplugs for the night!
On Sundzy morning I was ready for the mas in Mezquita. But when I reported at 8 am at the gate they told me that the Sun mass is conducted on 12 and 1.30 pm. Do not trust Lonely Planet guide! 🙂
