Cordoba

QURTUBA WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT CITY OF AL-ANDALUS, the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate. In those days it became the most cultured, sophisticated and splendid city in Europe and, alongside Baghdad, the main center of knowledge of the Islamic world. Qurtuba remains alive in the streets, buildings and culture of present-day

Cordoba, an essential destination for Muslims around the world.

MEZQUITA DE LOS ANDALUCES (The Andalusians Mosque)

Calleja de la Hoguera, 3 +34 603 188 712

Recently restored, it’s located in a 12th-century building where there may have been a mosque. This small prayer space, unique in the historic center, is not an active mosque during all prayer hours. If it is closed, an adjacent musallah can be found at Petra Tearoom.

MEZQUITA AL-MORABITO (Al-Morabito Mosque)

Jardines de Colón. +34 606 222 276

Built in 1940, this small mosque stands as one of the first modern ones in Spain. From 1950 to the early 1990s, it served as a specialized library on Islam, but in 1992 it fully resumed its function as a mosque. It is located in a lovely park.
