Wow, this is so interesting! This is the first time I've heard about a mosque turned into a Catholic cathedral 😲 Thank you so much for sharing about this beautiful heritage site and its history 💗
Oh, this is simply beautiful- the arches! The marble! I love it! Thank you so much for the photos, they are lovely. Another place to add to my “wish I could visit” list!
My husband and I visited the Mezquita this August and absolutely loved it! We went in the late afternoon (which I recommend as the Mezquita started clearing out at this point) and we also had no issues purchasing tickets at the door through a QR code that they had posted up. One thing to note: I expected the it too be cool and refreshing on the inside after being in the Andalusian sun all day but it was actually quite stuffy in there. Just something to be aware of when you're thinking about how to dress to be modest and cool at the same time.
Wow what great photos and a super interesting read! Loved it :)
Thank you! Have you visited Cordoba?
I have not! One day, I hope :)
If you visit Andalusia, try visiting Cordoba too :)

I like the fact that it wasn't demolished but repurposed. It is trully a unique place!

Thank you for sharing this! Yes, I would expect it to be cooler - it was when we were there, although it was January.
Looks so beautiful. I just love those arches and stripes and all the other details.
It is a stunning place. We really enjoyed our visit. Food was also excellent! Thank you for this great reminder. Might be time to go back!
Yes, the food - we enjoyed tapas in a nearby restaurant, and everything was great, across Andalusia. I think we should go back often :)
Great to hear that! Enjoy your trip!
