[L4L] Cordoba, how you've fallen

Bismillah,

Salam to all,

today our journey began early in the morning in order to buy a bus ticket to Medina Azzahra.

but sadly, they ticket were already sold out for today.

Instead, we went to the Mezquita-Cathedral,

Oh by the way,

Cordoba.

It was the center for the Umayyad Caliphate once.

but now, it sad to see how it transformed.

If in Istanbul, you'll see a cathedral changed into a mosque,

but in spain, you'll see a mosque, once a huge influential mosque (Mosque of Cordoba) changed into a cathedral.

"famous arches of Cordoba Mosque"

Admission is free between 8-10 a.m.

Then,

we went to the Callahora tower.

There we learned the history of Cordoba, the Mosque and little more about alhambra.

What's its like under the ruling of caliphate.

"not much left, only ruins"

Then, we took a taxi to Madina Al-Zahra,

There we see the lost city of caliphate Abdul Rahman 3.

It's still under excavation.

If you want to know more,

come here =).

We make ourself busy in the evening by walking around the city,

buyings souvenir and so.

Have a little Tortilla de Patata for lunch+dineer.

Until night,

we went back to our hostel to take our bags,

and began preparing for our bus back to Madrid.

Peace!
