Each
of the eight Andalucian capitals boasts spectacular remains of Moorish
monuments, the most unforgottebale of which are, undoubtedly, Granada's
Alhambra palace and the mosque in Cordoba.
In the 10th century, under emir Abd ar-Rahman 111, Córdoba
was the largest, most prosperous city of Europe, outshining Byzantium and
Baghdad in science, culture and the arts. |
