The guided tour of the Mosque of Cordoba that we offer you at OWAY Tours will allow you to discover the only mosque-cathedral in Europe. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984, it became the second largest mosque in the world, after Mecca. Now you can visit it accompanied by a specialised guide who will tell you all the secrets and curiosities, taking you on a pleasant walk around the interior.

The visit begins in the Plaza del Triunfo, where the OWAY Tours office is located. Next, we will enter the renowned Patio de los Naranjos (‘learn more about the Cordoban patios here’ link de acción), where you can see the great bell tower that houses the wonderful minaret of the Aljama Mosque built by Abd al-Rahman III.

With this guided tour of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba you can skip the queue at the ticket office, so, once we have commented on the most interesting aspects of the exterior, we will enter the Mosque avoiding unnecessary waiting.

Once inside, you will be amazed as you walk through the 1,300 columns that make up the building. From the foundational mosque commissioned by ‘Abd al-Rahman I in 786, the journey through time takes us to the first extension. There, the self-proclamation of Abd al-Rahman III as Caliph took place, giving birth to the Independent Caliphate of Al-Andalus, the period of greatest cultural splendour of the city of Qurtuba.

The guided tour of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba ends with a spectacular finale. You will discover the magnificent transept of the Cathedral, which was begun in 1523 inside the Mosque and which makes it the only European Mosque with a Cathedral inside.
