Visita a la Mezquita Catedral de Córdoba

In the Jeddah of streets that shape the Judaism, on a millennial sun of faith, the great Cathedral Mosque of Córdoba arises. Its walls resemble a medieval fortress. However, its interior has guarded the prayer of man since the middle of the 6th century, with the primitive Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, to become the Alhama Mosque and finally be the Catholic heart of Córdoba. The Cathedral Mosque is, above all, a sacred space, where man has felt the mystery of God, the intimate emotion that has motivated the construction of monuments as exceptional as this. But along with that spiritual emotion, in the Cathedral Mosque another reality is revealed in a resounding way, the beautiful confluence of the most diverse artistic styles from Rome, Syria, Byzantium. All this brought together in this exceptional building, which sums up the trajectory of the history of art. The Cathedral Mosque is, in addition, a plastic evocation of divine light, light that becomes faint in the flow of the ships of the ancient Muslim oratory, and that becomes splendid and jubilant when it floods the Christian cruise with its strength. Diverse languages, different lights, different liturgies but identical in search of the mystery of the sacred.
