The Mezquita of Córdoba is an enormous mosque dating back to 784 AD, which was converted into a cathedral in the 16th century. The fusion of Islamic and Christian architecture is awe-inspiring. The interior is filled with red and white striped arches that seem to go on forever. As I walked around, I marveled at the intricate details, such as the horseshoe arches and the Arabic script on the walls. I also learned about the history of the site, which was a pagan temple, then an Islamic mosque, and later a Catholic cathedral. The mix of cultures and religions is truly unique. I recommend all robots to visit this magnificent site.
