Córdoba, Spain - Roman temple ruins next to our hotel
The Roman temple was discovered in the 1950's during excavation to expand city hall in the heart of Córdoba (Andalusia) Spain. Construction of the temple had begun sometime around 41-54 AD, during the reign of Emperor Claudius. The building was constructed primarily of marble and considered one of the most beautiful for its day.
We first saw the temple at night, illuminated by lights, just after we had arrived for our stay in Córdoba & were walking around stretching our legs. We came back the next day; it was a very convenient walk for us, only about 2 blocks from where we were staying. We began our day by having breakfast at one of the many outdoor cafés next to the temple. One of the interesting things about the temple is the number of cats we saw lounging about. It was hard to tell if they were feral or just local cats that enjoyed hanging out here, undisturbed.

Roman temple of Córdoba, Templo romano de Cordoba, Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
The Spanish city of Córdoba has the remains of a Roman temple, which was discovered in the 1950s during the expansion of City Hall. It is located in the angle formed by the streets Claudio Marcelo and Capitulares. It was not the only temple that the city had, but it was possibly the most important of all, and the only known by archaeological excavation. It is a Pseudoperipterus, hexastyle and of Corinthian order temple of 32 meters long and 16 wide. Its construction began during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) and ended some forty years later, during the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96 CE). Presumably it was dedicated to the imperial cult. The temple underwent some changes in the 2nd century, reforms that coincide with the relocation of the colonial forum. In the area had already been found architectural elements, such as drums of columns, capitals, etc. all in marble, so the area was known as los marmolejos. This area of Córdoba could become between the 1st century and the 2nd century, as the provincial forum of the Colonia Patricia, title that received the city during the Roman rule. The building was situated on a podium and consisted of six columns on its front facade and ten columns on each side. Currently, the only remains left of the building are its foundation, the stairs, the altar and some shafts of columns and capitals. The highlight of the set are the foundations: those that support the building itself and the front counters, arranged in a fan shape and supported on a wall (part of which is visible today at City Hall), which created a stand to prevent be displaced by the weight of the set, built entirely of marble. This type of fastening, called anterides, it was rare in the Empire, which adds value to Cordobese set. The anterideses next to the massive foundations of the temple tell us about the magnitude that could had the temple, widely visible from the Via Augusta, the main entryway to the east, running parallel to the circus. Around may see some original fragments of the temple, such as parts of drums or capitals. Other remains were taken to the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Córdoba for better preservation, as some relief that there are exposed, and which also includes some of its capitals, while several shafts of columns can be seen in the Plaza de las Doblas. The temple was built during the second half of the 1st century. The set was begun during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54) but not end until the reign of Domitian (81-96), at which time it is provided with water. It underwent some modifications in the 2nd century, reforms that seem to coincide with the relocation of the provincial forum goes to the current environment of the Convento de Santa Ana. The materials used in its construction were varied. The material used was almost exclusively marble, from columns to the walls, going through the roof and entablature. The quality of marble and the size of that tell us that its construction was carried out by skilled craftsmen of high quality, placing the result at the level of the most beautiful buildings of the empire. The temple stood was located in the border of Colonia Patricia, in the area where was located part of the west canvas of the Walls. The inside constructions, like the stretch of wall, were destroyed to build the temple. The land was paved, creating an artificial terrace which sets forth a square and in the middle of that was the temple. The square was closed on three of its sides, north, east and south (as indicated by the remains found under the building at the corner of Claudio Marcelo with Diario Córdoba), while the west was open to visually connect with the circus. Some studies suggest that there was an intermediate terrace that interconnected the two spaces.

Empúries, Greek and Roman Ruins in Spain
In Ancient times there was a city called Phocaea, in the geographical area that today is Turkey. 2600 years ago greek colonists from Phocaea traveled west and reached this coast of north-east Spain to found a new settlement. It became Emporion, a thriving center for commerce and merchants. Later, Emporion was occupied by the romans and to the original greek settlement, just few meters from the beach, a new Roman portion of the city was added, slightly more inland. The city prospered for centuries, but then fell in decline in the early medieval age, when its very exposed position made it too vulnerable to marauders. Meanwhile other Roman cities in the area were gaining more power, like Barcino (Barcelona) and Tarraco (Tarragona). Here is how Empúries looks today, in ruins. The statue is a copy of the original (kept inside the museum) but it's placed in the location where the original standed. It probably depicts Asclepius, greek god of healing and medicine.

Cordoba, Spain Grand Mosque, UNSECO World Heritage Site, La Mezquita, Spain’s most important histo
The Grand Mosque of Córdoba in Spain was chosen the most important historic treasure of Spain in a major Spanish public poll in 2007.
The building is most notable for its vast interior space, with 856 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite. at one time it contained 1283 columns.
There are nineteen aisles from east to west, and thirty-five from north to south.
You appear to be walking about in the silent depths of a great forest rather than in a building; whichever direction you turn to, your eye strays along rows of columns, which cross each other, and lengthen out endlessly, like marble trees growing from the soil. When you walk in.. you feel transported suddenly into another world… overwhelmed, fascinated, amazed and filled with wonder.
this architecture is like a living thing, with a canopy of flowing curves above you formed by the double rows of crossed arches, like the interlaced branches of great trees.
The double arches were a new introduction to architecture, permitting higher ceilings than would otherwise be possible with relatively low columns. The double arches consist of a lower horseshoe arch and an upper semi-circular arch. The full height of the ceiling is able to reach 35 ft.
It was once lighted by more then ten thousand gold, silver and bronze lamps, suspended from the ceiling,
There was originally a Roman temple dedicated to Janus on this site, then a Catholic Christian church built by the Visigoths.
When Muslims conquered Spain in 711, the church was first divided into Muslim and Christian halves, each party worshipping in its respective portion, because the Moors never denied religious liberty to the conquered people. They maintained a harmony between cultures in those days. Seventy years later, the Moors purchased the other half from the Christians and then demolished the entire building, in order to build the grand mosque of Córdoba. A beautiful gilded dome soars high over the Maksoureh, an anteroom for the caliph and his court in front of the mihrab
The mosque underwent numerous subsequent changes and reached its current dimensions in the year 987 with the completion of the outer naves and courtyard.
Construction of the mosque employed thousands of artisans and labourers, over hundreds of years. Moorish kings could afford this because the were greatly enriched by the acquisition of the valuable mines of Iberia, the quarries of marble, and other sources of wealth.
It became the second biggest mosque in size, after the Holy Mosque in Mecca,
The main hall of the mosque was used for a variety of purposes. It served as a central Prayer hall for personal devotion, the five daily Muslim prayers and the special Friday prayers. It also would have served as a hall for teaching and for Sharia Law cases
The edifice also has a richly gilded prayer niche or mihrab. The mihrab is a masterpiece of architectural art, with geometric and flowing designs of plants.
When Córdoba was taken by King Ferdinand III in I 236, the mosque was reconsecrated as a Christian cathedral,
The kings who followed added further Christian features, but little alteration was made in the original structure. It was in I523 the unfortunate idea possessed the bishop, to build a new church in the middle of the Mohammedan temple.
columns were pulled down, the larchwood ceiling was destroyed, and the Christian church was built, very Spanish in its large proportions and wealth of ornament.
Charles V You have built here what you, or any one, might have built anywhere else ; but you have destroyed what was unique in the world.
There are historical and cultural reasons why such an amazing building was constructed and has survived for a 1,000 years. Córdoba has always been a very important place. Even today is has the largest urban area in the world declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
2,000 years ago at the time of Julius Caesar, Córdoba was the capital of the Roman province of Hispania Ulterior. With the fall of Rome it was conquered by the Visigoths and then it was conquered by invading Islamic armies in the eighth century.
Córdoba became the capital of the Islamic Emirate including most of the Iberian Peninsula.
It has been estimated that in the 10th century Córdoba was the world's biggest city, and for several centuries was one of the most advanced cities in the world -- a great center of culture, politics, and finance.
Córdoba had 3,000 mosques, splendid palaces, 300 public baths, medical schools, universities and what was then the largest library in the world, housing from 400,000 to 1,000,000 volumes. it had also become a center for education under its Islamic rulers.

Visit the Spanish Cathedral Within a Mosque
In Córdoba, Spain, the Mezquita stands as a house of many faiths, a site of religious significance for Catholics and Muslims alike. Originally dedicated to the Roman God, Janus, the temple was later transformed into a mosque as Córdoba came under Moorish rule. Nearly five hundred years later, as the town was conquered by Christians, the Mezquita was once more converted into a church. Four centuries later, a cathedral was constructed within the center of the structure, becoming a home for Córdoba’s practicing Roman Catholics. Today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, millions of tourists flock from all over the world to tour the awe-inspiring artistry and Islamic architecture.

이슬람이 스페인에 진출한 8세기부터 안달루시아의 중심 도시였던 코르도바. 한때 콘스탄티노플과 어깨를 나란히 할 정도로 번성했던 대도시였다. 13세기 가톨릭 세력이 이곳을 정복하면서 찬란했던 이슬람 문화에 가톨릭의 문화가 더해지게 됐다. 메스키타는 ‘모스크‘라는 스페인어로 이슬람 사원이라는 뜻이다. 내부에는 몇 백 개에 달하는 이슬람식 기둥이 시선을 압도한다. 흰색과 갈색이 교차되는 말발굽 모양의 아치들이 이슬람식 특징이다. 황금빛 장식이 화려한 이곳은 미흐랍, 이슬람인들이 기도를 드리는 메카의 방향을 표시한 곳이다. 마치 금박을 입힌 듯 화려한 이슬람 장식. 한때 찬란했던 문화를 그대로 보여준다. 사원 한 가운데에 자리 잡고 있는 가톨릭 성당. 16세기 카를로스 1세가 르네상스 양식의 대성당으로 만들었다고 한다. 예배당과 성가대석 등 가톨릭을 상징하는 화려한 조각들로 가득하다. 동서양 문화, 이슬람과 가톨릭 문화가 메스키타 사원 안에서 공존을 넘어 융합의 모습을 보여주고 있다. “정말 인상적이면서 독특하네요 다른 곳들과 달라요. 지중해 연안 국가들의 흥미로운 역사의 한 부분이죠” 1세기 경 로마시대에 만들어진 돌다리, 로마교. 역사를 간직한 이 다리 아래가 바로 동네 아이들의 놀이터다.

Cordoba was the central city of Andalusia from the 8th century when Islam entered Spain. It was a big city that once flourished with Constantinople. Catholic cultures have been added to the Islamic culture, which was brilliant as the 13th century Catholic forces conquered it. Mesquita means Mosque in Spanish meaning Islamic temple. Inside, hundreds of Islamic pillars overwhelm your eyes. Horseshoe-shaped arches with white and brown crosses are of Islamic character. It is a place where Mihra, where Muslims pray for prayer, marks the direction of Mecca. Gorgeous Islamic decoration like gold leaf. It shows a brilliant culture. A Catholic cathedral situated in the middle of a temple. In the 16th century, Carlos I became a Renaissance cathedral. It is full of colorful pieces symbolizing Catholicism, such as a chapel and a choir. East and West culture, Islam and Catholic culture show the convergence beyond the coexistence in the Mesquite temple. It's really impressive and unique. It's different from other places. It's part of the interesting history of the Mediterranean countries. A stone built in the Roman century, Romanism. Below this bridge, which has history, is the playground for the children in the neighborhood.

Córdoba fue la ciudad central de Andalucía desde el siglo VIII cuando el Islam entró en España. Era una gran ciudad que una vez floreció con Constantinopla. Las culturas católicas se han agregado a la cultura islámica, que fue brillante cuando las fuerzas católicas del siglo XIII la conquistaron. Mesquita significa Mezquita en español que significa templo islámico. En el interior, cientos de pilares islámicos abruman tus ojos. Los arcos en forma de herradura con cruces blancas y marrones son de carácter islámico. Es un lugar donde Mihra, donde los musulmanes rezan por la oración, marca la dirección de La Meca. Preciosa decoración islámica como pan de oro. Muestra una cultura brillante. Una catedral católica situada en medio de un templo. En el siglo XVI, Carlos I se convirtió en catedral renacentista. Está lleno de coloridas piezas que simbolizan el catolicismo, como una capilla y un coro. La cultura oriental y occidental, el islam y la cultura católica muestran la convergencia más allá de la coexistencia en el templo de Mesquite. Es realmente impresionante y único. Es diferente de otros lugares. Es parte de la interesante historia de los países mediterráneos. Una piedra construida en el siglo romano, el romanismo. Debajo de este puente, que tiene historia, está el patio de recreo para los niños del vecindario.
