Córdoba
During its heyday in the 8th century, Córdoba was the biggest city in Western Europe welding influence over much of the Muslim world. Although it is now only a regional centre, Córdoba is a fascinating city with many relics of it's illustrious past.
The Mezquita is Córdoba's main sight. This amazing building is an excellent example of Islamic architecture although this style is compromised by the additions made in the 16th century.
Other attractions include the Torre de la Calahorra and the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos which played an important role in the Spanish Inquistion.
