This city is also located in Andalusia. In Cordova a number of Moorish relics of the Spanish empire can be found. The most spectacular among the relicts is the Mosque of Spain, which was constructed in the 8thcentury. The mosque was one of the few Arab masterpieces that remained untouched during the Reconquista (Spanish for Reconquest).The main feature of the Andalusian city is its old "juderia" found to the northwest of the mosque's high walls. Even today Cordova is considered to be a Moorish city with quite narrow streets, which are sometimes too narrow for the cars. The majority of such streets are located in the older quarter of the city's center and west.
The forge workings beautify the streets made fully of stone and the silversmiths till today are creating great masterpieces within their factories.
