...Very interesting post. And thanks for the photos.<br /><br />Another great example of wise men and women understanding the power and beauty of a structure and not letting its original purpose get in the way of new uses, is La Mesquita-Catedral in Cordoba Spain. It is a truly remarkable jewel of cultures, Muslim and Catholic. <br /><br />It started as a Christian Visigoth Church, then became a Mosque, and was built onto extensively. The result is one of the world's most renowned examples of Moorish architecture. Then, after the Moors were conquered by Spanish Catholics, a new and lovely Catholic cathedral was built at the center of the structure, without harming the magnificence of the main prayer hall of the mosque. It is a truly remarkable structure with a history to match!<br />Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736499939969754097noreply@blogger.com
