Dome of the Mihrab
Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba
(Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba)
Calle Cardenal Herrero
Córdoba, September 2022
“Above the mihrab, is an equally dazzling dome. The Dome of the Cordova Mosque is built of crisscrossing ribs that create pointed arches all lavishly covered with gold mosaic in a radial pattern. This astonishing building technique anticipates later Gothic rib vaulting, though on a more modest scale. As the mihrab is flanked by two chambers, the dome of the Mosque is also flanked by two other domes.” (Mihrab of Cordoba Mosque, Madain Project)
