Córdoba

This clip is of our school´s visit to the mosque in Córdoba on February 5, in the forest of columns which fill the room where the Muslims gathered to pray. Construction of the mosque began by Abderramán I in the 8th century over the site where the church of San Vincente once stood. It was extended by Abderramán III (the first caliph of the Independent Emirate of Córdoba) in the 9th century. His son Alhakan II added the most luxurious part in the first-half of the 10th century, and the largest extension (of the poorest quality) is from Almanzor in the second-half of the 10th century. If you want to know more feel free to ask, and I can give you the 10 minute speel about the architecture which I had to write for an exam for art class.
