The Mezquita-Catedral is in Córdoba, in Andalucía. Building began in the year 785, when the city was the capital of the emirate of Al-Ándalus, which later became a caliphate. Later it became a Christian cathedral. It has been a World Heritage Site since 1984 and stands out for its arches with red and white stripes. In Santiago de Compostela there is a cathedral, not a mosque.
