Cathedral- Mosque of Cordoba- in 1236, Córdoba was captured by King Ferdinand III of Castile in the Reconquista, and the mosque was turned into a Catholic church. Alfonso X oversaw the construction of the Villaviciosa Chapel and the Royal Chapel within the mosque. The kings who followed added further Christian features, such as King Henry II rebuilding the chapel in the 14th century. The minaret of the mosque was also converted to the bell tower of the cathedral. It was adorned with Santiago de Compostela’s captured cathedral bells.The most significant alteration was the building of a Renaissance cathedral nave right in the middle of the expansive structure. The insertion was constructed by permission of Charles V, king of Castile and Aragon.The Great Mosque’s conversion to a Christian Catholic church, the Catedral de Córdoba, may have helped to preserve it when the Spanish Inquisition was most active.Artisans and architects continued to add to the existing structure until the late 18th century.

i love how during the London attacks my dash was filled with not only numerous posts against the act of terrorism but against the entire Muslim race as well, now Muslims in Burma are being slaughtered, 3000 Muslims in 4 days and no one is batting an eye. what i find appalling is the hypocrisy of the tumblr users, who keep on pretending as if Muslims are not real,a racist comment against a black person can garner your attention but actual fucking genocide against Muslims cant, hence i feel obliged to say fuck you to all of you hypocritical assholes.Also when these innocent people become terrorists because it is the only way they can take revenge against their abusers, please remember that you are partly responsible for their actions, because you refused to even try to help them recieve justice. this is not different from what hitler did, don’t let this become another chapter of history which we will regret
so if you care, if you have some semblance of humanity please reblog this, it’s the least you can do
