Two of the tourists from Austria were arrested on Wednesday night in the southern city of Cordoba as they attempted to pray in the Great Mosque of Cordoba according to a report published by the Associated Press which appeared in the UK Independent newspapers website.
The Great Mosque of Cordoba was built after the Moorish invasion of Spain in the 8th century but transformed into a cathedral in 1236 when King Ferdinand III captured the city. Since then Muslim prayer rites have been forbidden inside.
The Great Mosque of Cordoba placed its importance amongst the Islamic community of Al-Andalus for three centuries. In Cordoba, the capital of Al-Andalus, the Great Mosque was seen as the heart and central focus of the capital. The Mosque was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. (dar)
