Cordoba.

Visited Cordoba (a city about an hour away from Sevilla) last weekend with CIEE.
Here is my weekend in pictures :)

The gardens- all over the city. Every year they have a festival
here and everyone comes to tour the beautiful gardens.





La Mezquita de Cordoba

Where the Koran is kept.



Image of Christian defeat of the Muslim empire. It shows the Muslims
handing over the keys of the city to the Christians. This image always fills me
with so much emotion and makes me want to cry. How sad he
must have felt to give up his beloved city to the Christians.



This just made me laugh. It was part of the decoration in the Cathedral.

This was also hilarious and part of the decoration on the ceiling.
