Review:
This temple monument is currently a Catholic Church in the Diocese of Cordoba and goes by several names. It is known as the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Mezquita. The first church on the site was built by the Visigoths. When the Moors first conquered the area, they shared the space with the Christians but subsequently purchased it outright. A mosque was built to rival those in Baghdad, Jerusalem and Damascus. It was enlarged several time before the Christian Reconquistas retook the land and converted the building to a Catholic church. The layers of history are evident in the building.
