Decoration on the inside of the Mezquita

Mosque is "Mezquita" in spanish. It was built and used as a mosque, but is now used as a Cathedral. The name of the building is simply the Mezquita due to this. It serves as the offical Cathedral of Granada, and is also known as the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption. The architecture dates back to the 8th century. Most of the archiect of the original mosque is still preserved, including the mihrab wall. But there have also been done some huge changes, to make it a cathedral.

Look up, and you are certain that you are in a mosque. Look down, and you understand that you're not in a mosque anyways....
