mosque of el cristo de la luz
Mosque of El Cristo de la Luz

The Mosque was built in the 10th century, with marble columns and Visigoth capitals that support the nine domes which are adorned and constructed in different styles.

According to the legend, El Cid was brought to this place by his horse. He kneeled down and found an image of Christ which had been buried by the Christian followers to hide it from the Muslim.

The image is peculiar, since the figure's feet are sideways and not in the usual position of other crucifixes.
