Which landmark has the period Islamic Spain and is located in Cordoba?

• A. Blue Mosque
• B. Basilica of St. Philibert
• C. Old St. Peters
• D. Mezquita Mosque and Cathedral

Answer: (D)

The landmark in Córdoba that reflects Islamic Spain is the great mosque–cathedral. It began as the Great Mosque of Córdoba, built in the early centuries of Muslim rule in Iberia, and it became one of the most important examples of Islamic architecture in the region, famous for its expansive hypostyle prayer hall and distinctive arches. After the Christian reconquest, it was converted into a cathedral, so the space now blends Islamic design with later Christian elements. This combination—originating in Islamic Spain and remaining in Córdoba—is what makes it the correct choice. The other sites are in different cities and contexts: the Blue Mosque is in Istanbul, the Basilica of St. Philibert is in France, and Old St. Peters is in Rome.
