First, a visit to the Alhambra is appropriate regardless of faith. It’s one of the great historic sites of the world.

I also have no objection to viewing it from a favorable vantage point, whether or not it’s a mosque.

But if there was something unusual beyond this, I’m interested.

Is it still an active mosque, or has it been turned into a museum like Haiga Sofia in Istanbul?

Not to pick nits, but it isn’t a mosque anymore.

It’s a Catholic church, a cathedral in fact, the seat of the bishop of Cordoba. Currently known as the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

I’ve always wanted to see it, myself. Definately on the bucket list.
