Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba

The Mosque–Cathedral Tour introduces you to one of Spain’s most remarkable monuments, a unique blend of Islamic mosque architecture and a Christian cathedral. Built in 785 and once the second-largest mosque in the world, it offers an interior filled with endless columns, striking double arches, the maqsura, the ornate mihrab, and the impressive choir beside the main chapel. As you explore, you’ll uncover the layers of history, culture, and craftsmanship that make this building one of the most admired in the country.

The tour begins in the famous Patio de los Naranjos, where you can appreciate the peaceful courtyard and the towering bell tower that encloses the original minaret built by Abd al-Rahman III. From here, your guide leads you through the most important sections of the Mosque–Cathedral, offering priority access, expert explanations, and the use of a radioguide for a comfortable and enriching 1.5-hour visit starting from the OWAY Tours office in Plaza del Triunfo.
