... Beautiful views of picturesque Cordoba situated at the heart of Spain's Andalucia region... the city offers a taste of Moorish culture, the Roman empire, Spanish culture and even has a Jewish Quarter....one of Spain's must-see towns... the center of the city is the mosque/cathedral... it is unique in the world as it is both a former mosque and the current cathedral for Cordoba... after the Reconquista, the Catholic Church took over the central mosque and built a Christian church right in the middle of the building... Cordoba has also the highest summer temperatures in Spain and Europe... Big Thanks once more David!! (✿ ♥‿♥)
