Pakistanis in Córdoba (Qurtuba) & Granada (Gharnata), Spain

Masjid-e-Qurtaba:
Originally called Aljama Mosque, now called Mezquita--catedral de Córdoba (in spanish) is located in the Spanish city of Córdoba, Andalusia. It was build in 784 by Abd al-Rahman I and his descendants reworked it over two centuries. The mosque underwent numerous subsequent changes: Abd al-Rahman II ordered a new minaret, while Al-Hakam II, in 961, enlarged the building and enriched the apse. The last of the reforms was carried out by Al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir in 987.
In 1236, Córdoba was conquered by King Ferdinand III of Castile in the Reconquista, and the mosque was returned into a Catholic church.
Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, who is considered as one of the founding fathers of Pakistan and its national poet, visited the Great Cathedral of Córdoba in 1931--32. He requested the authorities to offer azaan and pray in the mosque. The deep emotional responses that the Mosque evoked in him found expression in the immortal poem called "The Mosque of Cordoba".

Alhambra Palace: the complete form of which was Calat Alhambra, is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a fortress in 889, and was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
After the Christian conquest of the city in 1492, the conquerors began to alter the Alhambra. Charles I (1516--1556) rebuilt portions. Philip V (1700--1746) Italianised the rooms and completed his palace in the middle of what had been the Moorish building. In 1812 some of the towers were destroyed by the French under Count Sebastiani. In 1821, an earthquake caused further damage.
