Die Mezquita in Córdoba, Spanien

Die Hauptattraktion von Córdoba ist die Moschee-Kathedrale, genannt Mezquita.
Seit ihrem Baubeginn im Jahr 785 n.Chr. war die Freitagsmoschee das Vorbild für die Sakralkunst von Al-Andalus schlechthin. Während der Periode des Kalifats bildete sie sogar ein der Grossen Moschee von Mekka gleichwertiges Pilgerzentrum für die Muslime des westlichen Mittelmeerraumes.
Sie wurde durch zahlreiche Erweiterungen und Verschönerungen zu einer der prächtigsten Moschee überhaupt. Daran konnte auch der Einbau einer kath. Kathedrale im 16. Jh. nichts ändern.

Córdoba - Mezquita

The Mezquita in Córdoba, Spain.

The main attraction of Córdoba is the mosque-cathedral, known as the Mezquita.
Since its construction began in 785 AD, the Friday Mosque has been the model for the sacred art of Al-Andalus par excellence. During the period of the caliphate, it even became a pilgrimage center for the Muslims of the western Mediterranean, on a par with the Great Mosque of Mecca.
Numerous extensions and embellishments made it one of the most magnificent mosques in the world. Even the addition of a Catholic cathedral in the 16th century could not change this.

Valencia – Lonja de la Sede (silk exchange)
The Lonja was founded in 1469 as an oil market. The design comes from a similar building in Palma. The architects were Pere Compte, Juan Yvarra, Domingo Urtiaga and Johan Corbera. The first stones were delivered on February 15, 1483, that was the day the construction begun.
It therefore lasted until 1533 (50 years) until the construction with its crenellated tower and the gothic contract hall were completed.
During the following centuries Lonja served as a silk market.

The Alhambra in Granada – Patio de Arrayanes
––––––––––––
The Court of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes) is part of the palace and fortress complex of the Alhambra. It is located east of the Gilded Room (Cuarto Dorado) and west of the Patio of the Lions and the Baths. Its current name is due to the myrtle bushes that surround the central pond and the bright green colour of which contrasts with the white marble of the patio. It was also called the Patio of the Pond or the Reservoir (Patio del Estanque o de la Alberca) because of the central pond, which is 34 metres long and 7,10 meters wide.[1] The patio is divided in two sides by the pond, which receives its water from two fountains. The space has chambers and porticoes around it. These porticoes rest on columns with cubic capitals, which have seven semicircular arches decorated with fretwork rhombuses and inscriptions praising God. The central arch is greater than the other six and has solid scallops decorated with stylised vegetal forms and capitals of mocarabes.

The most important chambers that surround the Patio are the ones in the north side, which are part of the Comares Palace, the official residence of the King. Wikipedia
