Brief Description

"Cordoba's period of greatest glory began in the 8th century after the Moorish conquest, when some 300 mosques and innumerable palaces and public buildings were built to rival the splendours of Constantinople, Damascus and Baghdad. In the 13th century, under Ferdinand III, the Saint, Cordoba's Great Mosque was turned into a cathedral and new defensive structures, particularly the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos and the Torre Fortaleza de la Calahorra, were erected."

科尔多瓦历史中心

"公元8世纪，摩尔人占领了西班牙，于是科尔多瓦进入了它 的鼎盛时期，在这段全盛时期中，城中建起了约300座清真寺、数不清的宫殿和公共建筑与君士坦丁堡、大马士革和巴格达的辉煌繁荣相媲美。公元13世纪，西 班牙国王费尔南德三世时期，科尔多瓦大清真寺被改建成大教堂，一些新的防御性建筑也修建起来，特别著名的有基督教国王城堡和卡拉奥拉高塔要塞。"
