This piece of architecture is one of my favorite human achievement. I discover this building in a school trip to Andalusia. I had the luck to come back many times in Cordoba and every time I have been astonished by the church.
It was constructed by a lot of different artists from different cultures. That is what gives such a special beauty to this monument. Indeed, it has been alternatively a church and a mosque. It is one of the most representative examples of the art which has been developed during the Muslim occupation of a catholic land (Spain). The association of the architectural techniques and cultural habits proper to each culture unified by the same ultimate purpose (celebrate god) ensure this incredible temple.
The mix between the Arab columns and the Christian stained glasses are amazing.
