The Mezquita is amazing! A must see. If you get there early (between 8-9:30) you can get in for free, after that is 8 euro. Enjoy the gardens if it's not too hot outside

The Cathedral of Cordoba, Great Mosque. Building Cultural Heritage Site, built in 786. In 1238, the mosque is reconverted Catholic cathedral.

10 euros per person for general admission. Very cool to see the mix of Muslim and Catholic architecture in one cathedral. It only takes about an hour to see the whole thing.

Amazing architecture. Entry to the gardens is free. Mosque entry is €10; but free between 8:30 and 9:30 in the morning. Enter via the side doors (not the big front door).

Beautiful, but also weird to see a cathedral inside a building built by the Mores. But definitely a must-see when you’re in Cordoba..!
Luís Barbosa VicenteSeptember 13, 2014
The most beautiful building of Iberia, glory of Al-Andalus. Visiting at the end of the day means avoiding queues, delighting in the lemon tree yard and enjoying the sunset through the stained glass.
Sandy AvellanedaJuly 25, 2019
A MUST when visiting Córdoba, no photos make justice for what you can see and feel inside.
Alexandra SterninApril 24, 2017
Undoubtedly beautiful, the visually incredible Muslim installations are outnumbered by rather gaudy Christian decor: a real surprise. A reminder of history of conquest :( but very impressive overall.

One of the most stunning and interesting cultural sites I've ever visited! Make sure to see the mosaic wall gifted from Byzantium.
Joel BFebruary 26, 2017
Free entry between 8:30-9:30am on Saturday mornings. No tour groups permitted during this time so it's not crowded either!

2014: free entrance from 8.30 to 9.20 aprox. They'll kick you out for the mass and at 10 it's 8,5€. No student discount. Audio guide 3€. Nevertheless, it's a must see once in a lifetime at least.

A must for every Andalucia visitor. Remarkable blend of moorish and the later added baroque styles. Place of self reflection.
Andries VerslyppeApril 7, 2018
This unique and beautiful place (mosque and cathedral in the same space) is something to experience. The chapel glorifying the crusades is a bit awkward though.
Rozetta MarieNovember 13, 2014
This place is amazing. Lots of pictures to take. Take your time to see everything at your own pace. I liked the Mesquita better than Alhambra in Granada.
Charlotte M.January 24, 2016
Truely amazing piece of architecture and history. Take an audioguide or join the free walking tour before to get all the historic facts about the city.
MaryAugust 26, 2016
Most worthy landmark in Córdoba, a strange, incongruous place of worship that was a mosque before it was converted into a cathedral. Its Moorish arches are iconic.
Melle ElleNovember 8, 2018
Absolutely magnificent! Fantastic! Masterpiece!
Cody GriggersDecember 8, 2015
Skip the lines and buy your ticket from the (cash-only) automatic machines to the left. Possibly the most beautiful religious building I've visited.
Wendy Lee-WarneJune 10, 2013
A gorgeous cathedral and one that is significant in its Islamic architecture. A sight that is not to be missed if you are in Andalucia!
Christophe derasJuly 21, 2014
The documentation provided is pretty oriented to excuse the erection of the basilic while the Mosque is absolutly the masterpiece!
Fernando T.February 27, 2016
Don't forget to climb the main tower for the views over the city
Robin OostrumApril 24, 2016
Be prepared for a unique blend of ancient Moorish culture and Christian prosperity. One of the most stunning pieces of religious architecture to be found in western Europe.
Laia ReverteOctober 31, 2017
Wonderful architecture. Going through the monument and the audioguide by yourself might be a bit confusing.
Annette Kjær RiechertSeptember 18, 2017
A must when you are in Cordoba. Even though it is very touristed IT is well worth going there.
Polyxeni KaraAugust 13, 2017
It was really nice!!!i just a bit of expensive i think for the monument,and going to to the bell tower is 2 euros more.total 12 euros!
MatthiasSeptember 11, 2014
Free entry for morning mass from 8:30-9:20. However, this is for individual tourists only. Groups must pay and can only enter after 10am.
Henric U.May 18, 2013
It makes you upset about how little respect the christians had for this magnificent islamic masterpiece.

Was a mosque, now a cathedral and a museum. Things are quite complicated but this worship place can make it all clear for all!
Stephane B.September 10, 2013
The first hour in the morning is banned to tourists groups (yeah!) and ... free. Great to enjoy it in silence.
Coco CatMarch 23, 2023
Gorgeous architecture. Entrance fee around €11
Sergey MohovApril 18, 2014
You need tickets to enter, they only sell those in kiosks, so the lines move fast, but there are many separate ones.
Huub "Scattando" LommersAugust 26, 2015
A must see when you are in Cordoba, you will be amazed!
Francis KinderDecember 8, 2015
The best sight in Andalucia. This mosque/Cathedral is unique!
Mohammed GamalDecember 12, 2019
That's a place you need to visit at least once in your life time!
Sergey MohovApril 18, 2014
The place is full of tourists, lines everywhere. The audioguides are no longer free and are sometimes closed. They have radioguides for groups.
Niels EékMarch 17, 2015
The audio guide was actually quite informative. Get one!
