When Cordoba was conquered by Christians in 1236, it was converted into a cathedral. You can explore various highlights on your Cordoba Mosque tour, such as the bell tower, the Patio de los Naranjos ( court of oranges ) and the Mihrab. If you're planning to take a tour of the Cordoba Mosque, read on to learn all you need to know!

Córdoba Mosque tours

The Bell Tower

Originally built as a minaret, the iconic 54-meter tall Bell Tower offers breathtaking views of Córdoba. Transformed after the Christian takeover in 1236, it was rebuilt following earthquake damage in 1589, using bells from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Each of the bells has its own name! These bells also gesture inscriptions with unique engravings. Make sure you don’t miss this highlight!

Córdoba Mosque tours

The Court of Oranges

The mosque's entrance, known as the Court of Oranges (Patio de los Naranjos), is surrounded by palm, olive, cypress, and 98 orange trees planted by Abd al-Rahman I in the 10th century. It was originally designed for gatherings and washing rituals and has beautiful fountains. As one of Europe's oldest gardens, it's the perfect place to unwind!

Córdoba Mosque tours

Mihrab

One of the mosque-cathedral's most beautiful attractions, the Mihrab, marks the wall facing Mecca. It features a stunning horseshoe arch, Byzantine-inspired mosaics, and Quranic inscriptions. Decorated with plants, marble, plaster, ceramics, and paint, this small octagonal room topped with a dome is a true reflection of Islamic art and architecture.

Córdoba mosque tours

Prayer Hall

The Prayer Hall is an important stop on the Cordoba Mosque tour. It features 856 columns made from granite, marble, jasper, onyx, and porphyry, repurposed from a Roman temple! It is known for its beautiful symmetrical double arches. It also has horseshoe and semi-circular arches made of stone and red brick that are equally beautiful. The hall was previously used for teaching, Sharia law cases, special Friday prayers, and more.

Visitor tips 

  • Consider the Climate: Cordoba can get very hot, especially from June to August. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and light clothing, and try to stay in shaded areas when possible.
  • Visit Early or Late in the Day: To avoid the crowds, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. This can provide a more peaceful and intimate experience.
  • Plan for Additional Time: Many visitors suggest allocating more time than you initially think you'll need. There's so much to see and appreciate within the Mosque-Cathedral, and rushing through it won't do it justice.
  • Engage with Locals: Even though your tour guide will tell you fascinating stories about the history of the mosque and answer all the questions you may have, don’t miss the chance to  to interact with locals and staff members at the Mosque-Cathedral. They may offer valuable insights, recommendations, or anecdotes!
