Walking into the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (La Mezquita) was surreal—a masterpiece where Islamic and Christian architecture intertwine under one roof. I visited in the morning, and stepping into the vast hall of red-and-white striped arches felt like entering a different world. It was calm, quiet, and utterly breathtaking.
The original mosque columns and horseshoe arches stretch out endlessly, creating a forest of stone that pulls you into history. Right in the center, the Christian cathedral rises, richly decorated and beautifully preserved. The contrast is stunning—and instead of clashing, the two styles complement each other in a way that feels completely unique.
It’s not just a building—it’s a timeline made of stone, a living reminder of Córdoba’s layered past. I took my time walking through the halls, looking up at the domes and soaking in the quiet grandeur. A must-see that leaves you in awe.

Mesmerising Mezquita-Cathedral of Cordoba
The Mezquita of Cordoba is absolutely beautiful, with the outside orange garden, the amazing mixture of architecture styles & the stunning Cathedral inside is easily one of the most impressive buildings in the World. The giant red & white columns are the most recognisable feature, they create a magical experience walking through them. Cordoba is a gorgeous Spanish city and I 100% recommend spending 2 days here getting lost in the ancient streets.

Coffee and lunch in Cordoba 🗺️
#travellerswonderland
During my trip to Córdoba, I stumbled upon this quaint café right in the heart of the old town, and it was the perfect spot for a coffee and lunch break ☕🍴. Nestled among the charming streets near the Mezquita, the atmosphere was so relaxing with its lovely patio and Andalusian decor. The café offered a delicious selection of local tapas for lunch, with my favorite being salmorejo and jamón ibérico. Paired with a perfectly brewed coffee, it was the perfect way to refuel during my sightseeing adventure.
The price was really affordable, with lunch coming in around €15, which felt like great value for the quality of the food. Afterward, it was just a short walk to the Mezquita-Catedral, one of the must-see attractions in Córdoba, and the Roman Bridge, offering beautiful views of the city. I spent the rest of my afternoon strolling through the flower-filled patios and taking in the rich history of the place.
If you’re visiting Córdoba, make sure to take a break and enjoy some local food and coffee—it’s the perfect way to experience the city’s vibe.
