- Travel video about destination Córdoba in Spain.
Cordoba was once the most important metropolis of the Caliphate and today is a city of harmony and contrast. It is a city in which the history of the Caliphs, Romans, Jews and Christians is still very much alive and was the centre of the Arab realm of Al-Andalus that reached its peak in around 1000 A.D.The Ponte Romana extends across the Gudalquivir and leads to the old town. With its sixteen arches the Roman bridge that spans across the river is one of the city’s main landmarks. The city’s most important building is the Mezquita Catedral in the centre of the old town. It is undoubtedly the most splendid mosque of Moorish Islamic origin on the Iberian Peninsula. Construction of the main mosque began in 785 A.D. during the rule of Abd-Ar-Rahman The First. The world’s third largest mosque was built on the site of a West Gothic Christian church that was built on the remains of a Roman temple. The Plaza Santa Marina dates back to the 17th century and was once used as a bull-fighting arena and also as a theatrical stage. Today it is frequently used as a marketplace. The striking monument of the famous Spanish toreador, Manolete, who was killed during a bullfight inside the arena, occupies a large section of the square. Mighty walls surround the Medina. Some of its old gates have survived such as the Puerta De Almodovar that leads into the Jewish quarter. Once known as a wealthy city, Cordoba was considered to be a worthy prize and was thus well protected and fortified. A combination of the Arabic, Jewish and Christian worlds, Cordoba is most deservedly the Pearl of Andalusia!

![🇪🇸 Mosque Cathedral of Córdoba - Spain - Walking Tour [4K UHD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OBxSAXjHdVk/mqdefault.jpg)
This place is full of history and you’ll feel it in every old buildings you’ll see. The Mosque-Cathedral caught my attention a lot. I was jaw-dropped upon seeing it inside. I can’t imagine the hard-work of the ancient people who built it. The Viana Palace is also wonderful place to visit in Cordoba. I am covering this place on my own travel channel and just finished uploading the first part. This video gives me more motivation to do better. Thanks for this great video. 👍
All Spain is a beautifull country ! I am never tired of seeing it!
I Wanna visit Cordoba, someday. :))
A nice clear account of Córdoba to send to relatives
Viva el cid
Incredible architectural design
I love Cordoba
Thank you for a measured, superbly narrated, and photographed program. So much prefer to those narrated by flighty twenty-somethings gadding about in blue jeans, and burdened by knapsacks.
Best video of Cordoba tour.Thanks
Pues qué queréis que os diga, a mí lo más bonito de la mezquita-catedral me parece la parte cristiana. Esa cúpula oval parece flotar sin peso sobre nosotros. Además tuvimos buen cuidado de construirla en la parte de la mezquita que se construyó más deprisa y con bastante menos calidad constructiva y artística. El maravilloso mirhab y la cúpula bizantina son lo más valioso del edificio, pero también me parece que la construcción cristiana es preciosa. Por cierto, que las columnas de las naves son todas romanas, reutilizadas de la basílica visigoda de San Vicente y los edificios romanos (palacio de Maximiano Hercúleo) que demolieron los musulmanes.
Si no fuera por lo cristiano ni existiría aún.
no desentona, da variedad
Cordoba is a beautiful city and easy to get round on foot. The Mezquita is unmissable, though we enjoyed the original Moorish part of the building, rather than it's later Christian additions. Read more on our food and travel blog : chocolatehunters
Of course you are anti Christianity and anti Spanish. You only like the Moors. You wouldn't last a week living under sharia law. It's something to look from afar not live in it.
Travelling non sto. thats life I always talk about this on my blog
Crazy. don Quijote was a character in the Cervantes novel. He, therefore, never passed through Cordoba, having never existed. the narrator talks about the Spanish Inquisition as being in the 19th century!!! the one that started in 1492! If I found these mistakes so easily, it must mean that there are numerous other mistakes.
The photograph is great, anyways.
Paula, it was actually 1478 and was put into high gear in 1492.
The Spanish didn't end until July 15, 1834.
Seneca was not a "Jewish scholar." He was an ancient Roman Senator.
And the narrator's weird mispronunciations are distracting.
😊
Los españoles cuidamos y conservamos nuestro patrimonio cultural ibero, romano, judio, islámico y cristiano.La Alhambra de Granada fue protegida del saqueo y destrucción del ejército francés en época de Napoleón. Lástima que la Biblioteca de Córdoba fue incendiada, destruida por los almohades con 40000libros únicos y comparada en su época con la Biblioteca de Alejandria. Saludos.
Falta el mítico hotel oxidao
Koredoba. Sipinija. Doter. Daabic.
"Shepardim"?
I lost count of the number of mispronunciations.
Shepherd Jews... Actually, it's Sephardim. :) On the other hand, when the word Jews is added, it will be Sephardic Jews.
In portuguese we call "sefardita" ou "sefaradita". In spanish is "sefardi". "Sepharad" is how the jews called the Iberian Peninsula.
Na. Rabat. Maroke. Pasos. Tytiac
an example of Islamic civilization.

Yes..centuries before it gave us suicide bombers.
Cherilyn's son, removed at age 6 to inner-earth, never to play any further role in life, or know any pleasures I would disapprove of, immortal bliss pending my approval, ...was... a 5th cousin branch of Metus lineage #1 upstream Indus Valley Pygmy, whom sole blood heired into unbroken Maya-Spain into my blood by Golden Circle.
Inshallah, we will perform Namaz again in this mosque. That day will definitely come. Do not understand that you will survive by committing a crime. This mosque belongs to us. Ours was and will be ours, no one can separate us from this doom.
In your dreams , moron.
@@bernardmcavoy1864 this is mosque...
@@yusanbae3081 Not since about 1234.
el alcazar cristiano eran las caballerizas del alcazaer musulman. Es cruel tener animales enjaulados en 1 zoo, en muchos lugares ya se los tene! en reservas. Xk no pagaban sus sueldos
