The Great Mosque of Córdoba was begun between 784 and 786 by order of Abd al- Rahman. The structure was built on the site of San Vicente, the oldest church in Córdoba, which had been constructed over the remains of a pagan temple. The Great Mosque was a testament not only to the continuance of Umayyad dominion, but also to the triumph of Islam in the westernmost reaches of the Christian world.

La Mezquita Continued… When the Moors conquered Cordoba they found a Visigoth cathedral, promptly pulled it down and built a mosque complex who’s walls enclose about four acres and was over 40 years in the making. Over the centuries, the Moors roofed-over and developed more and more within this complex.
