The site of La Mezquita originally bore a church. Then, after the Moors conquered Cordoba in the 8th century, they demolished the church and built the Mezquita (mosque).

Thanks for the links. Here's one about Hagia Sophia. Thank the Greek Orthodox for this wonderful website. The Turks have turned it into a museum, and are doing a pretty good job of preserving all it's history, both Christian and mohammedan.
