Barcelona, Spain, November 09, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Cordoba lies upstream from Sevilla beside a loop of the Guadalquivir, which was once navigable as far as here. It is today a minor provincial capital, prosperous in a modest way. Once, however, it was the largest city of Roman Spain, and for three centuries it had formed the heart of the western Islamic Empire, the great medieval caliphate of the moors. Like back in the Moorish times, the Mezquita of Cordoba is reachable through the Patio de los Naranjos, a classic Islamic ablutions court that preserved its oranges trees, although the fountains for ritual purification before prayer are now purely decorative.

Originally, used for the Friday prayers, all nineteen naves of the mosque were open to this court, allowing in the rows of interior columns to appear an extension of the trees with brilliant shafts of sunlight filtering through.

Today, all but one of the entrance gates are locked and sealed and the mood of the building has been distorted from the open and vigorous simplicity of the mosque, to the mysterious half-light of a cathedral. A second and purely aesthetic innovation was to alternate brick and stone in the arches, creating the red-and-white striped pattern, which gives a unity and distinctive touch to the whole design.
