Visit the Spanish Cathedral Within a Mosque

In Córdoba, Spain, the Mezquita stands as a house of many faiths, a site of religious significance for Catholics and Muslims alike. Originally dedicated to the Roman God, Janus, the temple was later transformed into a mosque as Córdoba came under Moorish rule. Nearly five hundred years later, as the town was conquered by Christians, the Mezquita was once more converted into a church. Four centuries later, a cathedral was constructed within the center of the structure, becoming a home for Córdoba’s practicing Roman Catholics. Today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, millions of tourists flock from all over the world to tour the awe-inspiring artistry and Islamic architecture.

According to tradition, a small Visigoth church, the Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent of Lérins, originally stood on site. In 784 Moors ordered construction of Great Mosque, which was considerably expanded by later Muslim rulers. Córdoba returned to Christian rule in 1236 during Reconquista, and building was converted back to Original Roman Catholic church, culminating in insertion of a Renaissance cathedral nave in the 16th century. Since early 2000s, Spanish Muslims have lobbied the Roman Catholic Church to allow them to pray in the cathedral.Muslim campaign rejected on multiple occasions, both by the church authorities in Spain and by the Vatican.

[@AAmed1980]

I believe the Visigoths adopted Arianism, not Catholicism. And prior to the construction of the Visgothic Church, it was the location of a pagan temple. According to some accounts, the site was shared by Christians and Muslims until it was purchased in its entirety by the Muslims and the Mosque was built in 785. I think all such sites that were used by both religions at some point should be open to worshippers of both faiths, which includes buildings such as the Hagia Sophia, among others. Accommodating Muslims in the Mezquita for Friday prayers wouldnt be to difficult as the Mosque portion is still in tact. It would send a positive message and facilitate good relation between the two faiths.

Fortunately, those of us who read know that the first edifice on that site was a Christian cathedral.

[@AAmed1980]

It is believed to have been a Pagan temple prior to the construction of the Visigoth Church, which was a church not a cathedral. Muslims shared the site with Christian worshipers until purchasing the land and building the Musque in its place. However, there are those who believe, according to archeological evidence and historical documents, there was never a Church on the site.

The view of the "politically correct" is that we should NEVER talk about the atrocities that the islamic world is responsible for. Nobody talks about the one million Europeans that were taken into slavary by the mohammedens. And I have never heard western media mentioning all the millions of african slaves that were taken to muslim lands. Yes, Europeans did it too and that is REALLY BAD. But still, the muslim world has never dealt with this dark history of theirs and I think that they will not do it in a foreseeable future. The western countries is still apologizing for their slave trade. The islamic world would still take slaves , even today, if it weren't for the western countries putting an end to that. When I read my first comment I see that I wasn't clear enough in my sarcasm. If anybody would like to know more about what islam TEACHES (not what your muslim neighbour says that HE belives) look up David Wood. He quots directly from the muslim sources.

Perhaps bad jinn. Catholic images are not worshipped. Their function is to provide a divine presence.

Cordova Cathedral is property Latin Catholic Church headed by Pope who is Bishop of Rome in either St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City and/ or Christ the Savior and Sts. John's Lateran Basilica in Rome. Meanwhile,, Haghia Sophia is originally belong to Greek Orthodox Church headed by Patriarch who is the Bishop of New Rome or Constantinople whose main cathedral or headquarters is the Haghia Sophia that Ottomans Muslims invade and occupied and change the City name to Istanbul (Islam City). So what is the connection of Haghia Sophia claimed by Greek Church to Cordova Cathedral when in fact the latter is originally belong to the Latin Church long before Islam born in Arabia. It took 800 years before Spaniards and Portuguese expel the Heretics on their land, at same time established their Empire and World Dominance after the fall of Constantinople. Christianity wins against the Blood-Lust Maniac Pagan Cult.
