Today we visited the city of Cordoba. We met our new tour guide Luis and saw the enormous structure from across the river. Cordoba was a fortified city for 2000 years meaning it was surrounded by walls. It is has the famous structure with the red and white arches. La Mesquita was enormous. It is a famous entity in the country of Spain because of the contradicting religious places of worship. It was originally a mosque and then a Catholic king built a giant chapel in the middle of it. As you are standing in one spot you can see the Christian and Muslim places of worship all in one picture.
