Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, in the 8th century, became the crowning glory of Muslim architecture in the West. With its fantastic labyrinth of red-and-white candy-striped Moorish horseshoe arches, it remains one of the grandest attractions in Europe. Museo Arqueológico Provincial, Cordoba’s archaeological museum, 2 blocks northeast of the Mezquita, is one of the most important in Spain. Housed in a palace dating from 1505, it displays artifacts left behind by the various peoples and conquerors that swept through the province. Museo Diocesano de Bellas Artes, while the Inquisition was raging at the Alcázar, this was the lavish home of the bishops of Córdoba, who might be called hangmen by today's standards. Facing the Mezquita, their former palace has been turned into a museum of religious art, with illustrated prayer books, tapestries, sculpture, and paintings. Museo Municipal de Arte Taurino, Memorabilia of great bullfights are housed here in a 16th-century building that was inaugurated in 1983 as an appendage to the Museo Municipal de Arte Cordobesa. Its galleries recall Córdoba's great bullfighters with suits of light, pictures, trophies, posters, and even stuffed bulls' heads. Museo de Bellas Artes de Córdoba , Housed in an old charity hospital on the plaza, the Fine Arts Museum contains medieval Andalusian paintings, examples of Spanish baroque art, and works by many of Spain's important 19th- and 20th-century painters, including Goya, Sorolla, Zurbarán, Murillo, and Valdés Leal.
