The picture above is from a book (hence the seam in the middle)
about the mosque of Córdoba. I include it here to show the sheer SIZE of the mosque and
the magnitude of its design. There are no walls inside, just "miles" of
columns that support the structure. As one wanders from the old parts of the mosque
(ca. 788) into the 15th-century western-style church (see my photos below), the effect can
be quite overwhelming to see the two architectural structures from Muslim and Christian
civilizations co-exist side by side .
