The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is one of the most impressive monuments in the world, a symbol of Islamic art in the West and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It was originally the Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, shared by Christians and Muslims. In 784, Abd al-Rahman I began construction of the mosque, which was expanded by his successors: Abd al-Rahman II, Abd al-Rahman III, Al-Hakam II, and Almanzor. After the Christian Reconquista in 1236, it was consecrated as the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady, and in 1523 a Renaissance basilica was built inside.
