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 Abderram谩n (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 C贸rdoba, 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.
