It is regarded as perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of CArdoba. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was turned into a church, with a Gothic cathedral inserted into the center of the large Moorish building. The Mezquita reached its current dimensions in the year 987 with the completion of the outer naves and orange tree courtyard. Today, the building is used to house the Cathedral of the diocese of CArdoba in Spain.See also:"
