#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces. A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings. Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky. The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

So jumping back to 2011, with this panorama which I've posted here before but in another projection format (it was little planet). This one here is a derived form of "little planet" (I like to call it "wide view"). The panorama was shot inside the Grand Mosque of Kuwait in 2011 as part of some workshop back then. One good thing about workshops (for me) is that I can get to see and take pictures in places that I usually can't get in or even think of getting a permission to do so, like this one - the rest of workshops (usually) are just repeated info that I've taught myself long time ago already. And Blessed Friday!
