The city of Córdoba is a curious point in the history of mankind since we can find ourselves in a place that has been relevant in the territory over thousands of years, from republican Roman times to the present. However, if a building stands out among the jewels that this city shows (and sometimes hides) to the visitor, it is the Mosque of Córdoba. This mosque stablished in the year 758 by Emir Abderraman I, the only survivor of the Ummayad family, is one of the oldest examples of Islamic sacred space we have in the world, as well as being a constructive paradigm, being an example of beauty and functionality that influenced iberian and european architecture for hundreds of years. During this route we will visit this iconic building and its surroundings, analyzing its urban location, its genesis, and its constructive and symbolic secrets in order to fully understand the relevance of this building in history
We will start from Puerta del Puente, a XVI century gate by the bridge close to the mosque and we will: - Analyze the urban environment for understanding the strategical importance of the place - See and understand the gate composition in the mosque. - See the tower, courtyard and its evolution. - Understand the origin, evolution and development of the mosque since the 758 until its sacralization in 1236. - Locate the castillian developments done in the interior for adapting the sacred space from islam to cristianism.
