Historic Spanish mosque-cathedral reopens after blaze
MADRID: A historic mosque-turned-cathedral in Cordoba in southern Spain reopened on Saturday, a day after a blaze that was quickly contained by firefighters, a spokesman for the site said.
Considered a jewel of Islamic architecture, the site opened at 10:00 am (0800 GMT) and will close at 7:00 p.m. — its regular hours — with only the area where the fire broke out cordoned off to the public, he told AFP by telephone.
