Ornament of the World – The Wonder of Medieval Cordoba – T417
10 February 2027 @ 3:00 pm - 4:15 pm GMT
Overview
Talk by Brian Creese
During the 10th and 11th Centuries, Cordoba was the greatest city in Europe, a centre for education, culture and science with a population of 100,000 and hundreds of mosques and libraries. It was also a meeting point for the three great European religions and the centre of international diplomacy.
This talk will look at this great city and its legacy – and its most famous building, the mosque/Cathedral The Mezquita.
We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
