Mosque-Cathedral by yourself: Ticket with Audioguide APP

About the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba

The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is one of the most extraordinary monuments in Europe and the finest example of Andalusi art in Spain. Its construction began in the 8th century under the rule of Abd al-Rahman I, and through successive expansions it became one of the most important mosques in the Islamic world. After the Christian conquest of the city in 1236, a cathedral was incorporated into its interior, creating a unique architectural complex that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With this ticket, you can freely explore the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and discover iconic spaces such as the Courtyard of the Orange Trees, the impressive forest of columns and two-tone arches, the Mihrab, the Royal Chapel, and the Renaissance Cathedral integrated within the former Islamic temple.
