Córdoba, Spain- fine lattice in Stone - World Heritage

            The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, whose ecclesiastical name is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is the Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Córdoba dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and located in the Spanish region of Andalusia. The structure is regarded as one of the most accomplished monuments of Moorish Islamic architecture.

According to a Wikipedia account, a small Visigoth church, the Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent of Lérins, originally stood on the site. In 784 Abd al-Rahman I ordered construction of the Great Mosque, which was considerably expanded by later Muslim rulers. Córdoba returned to Christian rule in 1236 during the Reconquista, and the building was converted to a Roman Catholic church, culminating in the insertion of a Renaissance cathedral nave in the 16th century.

The above photo is of the extremely delicate stone latticework  framed by an equally beautiful series of arches  through which light was coming filtered from the top. You may like to enlarge the photo to see the intricacies of the lattice work in stone- finer than even the work done on cloth pieces.

Please also have a look below at the same place being photographed by another photographer , in a different light setting.
