| The Virgin of the Streetlights is Julio's work Romero of Torres painted in 1928 by responsibility of the City council. It is located in the exterior of the north wall of the Patio of the Orange trees. The appellative of the Streetlights comes him/her from those that illuminate it and they adorn the external grill that protects the canvas. This, however, is a copy of the original that was transferred to the museum that the painter has in the city. |

The mosque is composed of three parts: the Patio of the Orange trees (it conserves good part of their original aspect), to which you consents for the Door of the Pardon, of Mudejar style (1377) where the arrays of orange trees and palms are observed, of the sources and the horseshoe arches that surround it next to the door he/she gets up the minaret cut off partially and surrounded, at the beginning of the XVII century, of a "encofrado" of style herreriano.The door of Las Palmas gives access to the mosque: a forest of eight hundred fifty marble columns, jasper and granite on those that lean on three hundred sixty five bicolor horseshoe arches, give the measure of the splendor of the art of the caliphs in their acme. The mihrab, sacred place of the mosque that points out the South address and not that of Meca, of agreement with the will of Abderramán (toward the river because it took him/her to their native Damascus). This is one of the hypotheses, but nowadays it is more accepted the theory that the main ship of the mosque follows the orientation of the main (thistle) street of Roman (Colony Patricia) old Córdoba, like it has been attested in the archaeological excavations carried out in the city. The mihrab, is a marble joyel, stucco and Byzantine brilliantly colored mosaics on bottom of gold.

The current physiognomy of the Christ of the Streetlights has its origin in the grates that 20 of the XX century rose in the years and its streetlights were substituted by other gloomier ones in the year 1984.

| The patio of the mosque of Córdoba is configured in the first construction, the one carried out by Abd al-Rahman I and Hixam I. Abd al-Rahman II will be the promoter of the colonnade that surrounds the patio that will be enlarged by Abd al-Rahman III, the same as the minaret. Almanzor will be the one in charge of enlarging the patio toward the east, concluding the decoration of the door of the Pardon. The conversion of the mosque in cathedral during the XVI century will suppose the end of the patio according to the Islamic tipología and the creation of this patio like withdrawal place before consenting to the temple. The current cloisters are product of the remodeling that was carried out in the first decades of the XVI century, for the bishop's command Martin Fernández of Angle, eligiendo to Hernán Ruiz I like architect in charge of the project. In the XIII century palms had been planted and in Xv data of the presence of orange trees exist, being added olive trees and cypresses in the XVIII one. |
