History
Córdoba was the capital of Al-Andalus under the Umayyad Emirate and Caliphate; the Mezquita originated in the 8th century and expanded for centuries before a cathedral was built into its core after the 13th-century Reconquista.
Conservation
Córdoba protects its historic center as a UNESCO World Heritage site; visitors are asked to respect fragile interiors, avoid flash photography where prohibited, and support local businesses to sustain conservation efforts.
