Spain-Cordoba

Last week I visited Spain. I was staiyng in Sevilla, but on friday we went to Cordoba an odl medevial town. The town itself, like much of Spain bristles with arabic style architecture. After fall of Roman empire many Germanic tribes struggled for control of Hispania. After some time the were united by Visi Goths. But their regn was short, because in 8th century the Berbers (Arabs) or Moors came to this Iberic peninsula. Middle ages were all about Reconquista-christians taking back Iberic penisula. by the late 13 century almost 80% procent was reconquered.While in Slovenia there was already snowing, we had 15-20°C. All the pictures were taken with Sigma 18-250, 3.5-6.3 and Sigma 10-20 3.5. I've used wid angle inside the mosque.
