Walking
through all the streets in Cordova, it is a unique and amazing experience
of
overlooking the tower of the Cordova
Mosque and decoration of walls.

This is a historical FAHAD MASJID at
GIBRALTAR in (Andalusia) Spain. This had been built in memory of famous Muslim
general Tariq bin Ziyad. He landed where the mosque stands today and he burned
his boats; which is famous in history.
Tariq ibn Ziyad (died 720) was a Muslim
general who led the Islamic conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711–718 A.D.
Under the orders of the Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I he led a large army from the
north coast of Morocco, consolidating his troops at a large hill now known as Gibraltar.
The name "Gibraltar" is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name
Jabal Tāriq, meaning "mountain of Tariq", which is named after him.
