Cordoba, Spain - October 25, 2019: Detail interior view of Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba) in Andalusia, which is beautifully designed and decorated with ornaments.

The Mezquita also features richly gilded prayer niches. But the Mezquita's most interesting feature is certainly the mihrab, a domed shrine of Byzantine mosaics built by Al Hakam II (961-76). It once housed the Koran and relics of Muhammad. In front of the Mihrab is the Maksoureh, a kind of anteroom for the caliph and his court; its mosaics and plasterwork make it a masterpiece of Islamic art.
