Others have done it better before me, just have a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mosque%E2%80%93Cathedral_of_C%C3%B3rdoba\">read of Wikipedia for example<\/a>. The end result of history is now a monumental, walled-in mosque with a cathedral landed by parachute smack bang in the middle. Although the Spanish king of the time allowed the cathedral to be built in such a unique place, he did so sight-unseen and was a tad miffed when he saw the end result: a very odd mis-mash of cultures and styles. Being a bit less kingy, my personal opinion counts for nothing, but I thought the combination worked, in the sense it&#8217;s created something even more unique than ever existed before and since.

Nope. Partly that&#8217;s down to my misfiring word-smithery, but mainly it&#8217;s down to the fact places like this have to be sensed with your own eyeballs, to sniff the insense as it were, to feel the cool air and stone and hear the hushed chatter and camera clicks of fellow gawkers. That&#8217;s the only way to get even the faintest grasp on the depths of history surrounding places like the Mezquita.
