Mesquita in Cordoba

 The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is the official name of the Mesquita in Cordoba. This building houses the Roman Catholic Diocese of Córdoba. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. This is one of the most important Christian churches in Andalusia. Visiting this cathedral is a must for any visitor to this beautiful city.

There are several historical and religious buildings in the city, which can be found on excursions by ordering them on foxiepass.com. La Mesquita plays an important role in the local culture and is a must-see attraction for anyone traveling in the Andalusia region, so feel free to rent a car on bookingauto.com and go to meet your travels.

The great mosque of Cordoba Spain, known as Mezquita, is a breathtaking site to visit. It's best to visit early in the morning or just before it closes, when there are few visitors. The Mezquita is the most impressive when it's empty, so be sure to arrive early. You'll have the building to yourself, and you'll have it all to yourself.


The Cathedral Mosque in Cordoba was built during the Spanish Inquisition, but artists and architects continued to add to it until the mid-18th century. It has high walls and a beautiful courtyard. The bell tower on top of an old Arab minaret was added in the Renaissance period. In the center of the Mesquita, you'll find the largest and most impressive hall, called the Column hall.

The 4-star Hotel Madinat is located in the historic center of Cordoba. All of its rooms have views of the Mezquita and have air-conditioning. Rooms feature a flat screen TV, hairdryer, and private bathroom with a bidet. Some rooms include a balcony or a terrace. There are also several cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood. Despite its historic location, it's easy to get lost in the old city.

The Great Mosque in Cordoba (Spain) was built in the year 600 and was the first Islamic structure still standing from the Al-Andalus period. It was converted to a mosque and destroyed in the early 710s, but the new mosque was built a few years later in the year 784. It was rebuilt again for almost 300 years and was frequently visited by tourists and locals alike. The large internal arches are still a prominent feature of the attraction today.

Apart from the Mezquita, you should also visit the Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos. The Alcazar is a medieval palace that served as the residence of Christian kings. It was used by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to defeat the last remaining Moorish states in southern Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-see for any visitor to Cordoba. The Alcazar is a must see in the city.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
