CORDOBA, ANDALUSIA...



The Roman bridge to Cordoba which was one of the most important capitals and influential cities in 11th century Europe. While Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together peacefully, significant scientists, artists and philosophers emerged from Cordoba.
If you ever get a chance to go there, choose Juan as your tour guide, a super knowledgeable fellow and a fine gentleman as well.

Here are a couple shots inside the original Mosque which was uniquely spared destruction when the conquering Christians decided to build their Cathedral right in the middle of the structure, featuring more than 850 pillars!



























Ole again,
Tom
