city in southern Spain

Fishburn and Hughes: "A city on the river Guadalquivir in southern Spain. From the seventh to the twelfth century it was the capital of the caliphate in Spain and the most important centre of Moslem culture in the West. In power and prestige it rivalled, and eventually surpassed, Baghdad and Damascus. Contemporary Arab writers praised the city's splendour, its magnificent palaces, mansions, gardens and fountains, its 700 mosques and 900 public baths and, above all, its splendid mezquita, the largest mosque in western Islam, 'a dream of light, grace and colour'. In the great days of the caliphate Cordoba epitomised Islam's conception of a life to come in a heaven of 'gardens with lofty apartments, beneath which the rivers flow'. Averroes was born in Cordoba, and spent much of his life there as physician and qadi (judge)." (51)
