Cordoba Mosque, Spain. Entrance arch to the expansion built by Al-Hakam II around 970 AD, seen from inside. With the original building as starting point, this phase was defined by innovation, richness and creativity that added a new dimension to its already universal architecture. [1280×853] [OC]

The first time I visited I saw two Buddhist monks strolling through. Two Buddhists walk into a church inside a mosque
It felt like a religious studies lesson
Every curve and carving here tells a story of creativity and cultural brilliance from over a millennium ago.
