Córdoba
A legendary city of Andalusia — August 2017
A dozen images of Córdoba, taken during a visit to Southern Spain in August 2017. The images include the famous halls of the former 8th-century Mezquita built by the Emir Abd al-Rahman I.
The mosque was reconfigured as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption after the 13th-century Reconquista, with further additions made up to the 18th century. It is, in effect, a magnificent architectural palimpsest with materials, design and details from Roman, Visigoth, Moorish, Gothic and Renaissance periods. Somehow, it all works.
Other images show the former minaret of the mosque, transformed into a campanile, and the restored Roman bridge across the Guadalquivir river.
