At the time, Cordoba was one of the three largest cities in the world, along with Baghdad and Cairo. Cordoba is the place where the first city lighting was installed in Europe. While other parts of Europe were going through a dark period, Andalusia had a very advanced civilization. During that period, approximately 600 mosques were built in Cordoba. The most important of these is the Cordoba Mosque with its impressive columns.

Cordoba Mosque, now known as Mezquita, is the most visited tourist attraction in Cordoba. Let us note here that you must first make a reservation online and buy tickets. Apart from the mosque, I think the palace and especially the garden of the palace were also worth seeing. Of course, I walked a lot in the streets of Cordoba and explored the old city. Here it is, it was one of the most important Cities in the World at that time.
