Palladian villas, El Escorial, maybe a video (or a series) comparing the features of the gothic cathedrals in different countries.

I currently using these videos as part of an architecture class and it's amazing!!! Its really hard to find nice, clean, and to-the-point videos packed with information, but you've hit the spot again!! I cant wait to see whats next!!!
It was 35+ years ago I visited this magnificent site. This video so very well evoked my experience, but also taught me a lot more about the architectural significance of this site. Thank you very much.
An excellent audio guide for the Mosque-Cathedral! Thanks for the great video!
This channel is just on another level! the story telling is second to none, and I even waatched the Spanish versions and I don't speak a word of Spanish! Excellent work Sir
I love what Manuel Bravo shares and teaches about. He belongs to that same sort of wisemen from the times of old that helped build the modern world such as we know it. Thank you for being there.
Thanks for your comment!
Genius channel and videos. I'm watching all of them, both Spanish and English are very interesting and highly professional. 👏 Bravo, Manuel. Muy bien hecho!
This is indeed a great video Manuel and you teach us a lot. Just to let you know, out of respect and reverence, Muslims do not depict the picture of our beloved Prophet peace be upon him. Thank you.
The guy had sex with a 9 year old, he deserves a mugshot.
@@theon9575 The probability is that Mr Bravo, like most Spaniards is a Christian. Catholic Christianity has no problem with pictures, this building has been a Catholic Christian Cathedral for centuries.
Muslims did in the past
@@neblocker17 Well done and congratulations. Thank you for your Comment, but I don't think I had any good ideas. 😀
I am an old man, and I only reported what I have seen people of ALL faiths actually doing. I was not so fortunate in the Church i was born into - the Roman Catholic Church is guilty of much hypocrisy, oppression (eg of women) and of evil ( such as hiding serious sexual crimes against children, and massive corruption of Church funds )
I could NEVER in good conscience follow any faith that says that God requires people to die or be killed in his/her nameI
Therefore, I practise the philosophical principles of Humanism, and it's quite simple:
"Love, care for, and do no violence to fellow human beings.
Do no harm. Do not kill." Crusades, wars, jihads or any killing in God's name is an abomination.
Humanists don't disagree on this. Just do it, is my motto. It's never easy, but try, anyway.
@@theon9575 I ment Muslims drew prophet Muhammad pbuh in the past.
Very nice videography. Great music. Nice flow to the narration. Fantastic job Manuel! I am going to visit this mosque. ❤🇨🇦
Your videos and narrative are exceptional, the videography and rich historical references are truly a joy to watch. Thank you!
Thank you for this video!
I've been to Cordoba and visited this mosque. This video brings some very nice memories to me.
I hope I'll go there again.
Your wonderful videos help me travel in my mind to places I've never seen in this life, but feel so familiar thanks to the clarity of your content.
You did a superb job of researching and detailing the wonderful architecture of this mosque-cathedral. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 3 years as a teacher of English, and from that time developed an interest in the influence of Islam on other cultures, especially Spain. I appreciate your scholarly approach to your topic and look forward to learning much more. Subscribed!
The recovered Church of the Visigoths, with important arabic and berber additions, and made a Church again
incredible channel. So well researched and Manuel has a sublime knowledge of the subject of Islamic architecture and the context of it's history...
Very beautiful mosque .Thank you.
yes beautiful! now a Cathedral.
Cathedral*
It was a cathedral long before it was a mosque
No it's mosque built by muslims
Wonderful video. Very insightful. Thank you!
Excellent video. Short and to the point. No wasted seconds
Cordoba mosque was built when the Umayyads moved to Cordoba and built it on the basis of the Umayyad mosque in Damascus and built cordoba as a similar arab city

The Christian Romans of Ceuta asked the Imazighe for help against the barbarian Visigoths who had occupied Spain and Portugal and made Rome fall The Romans of Ceuta helped the Muslims to cross to Spain, and Andalus was already born there

Now the visgoten are back
Yes they also help with preparing the ship, and information about the area.
We are planning on visiting Andalusia in winter and your videos are giving a new perspective of all the sites we plan to visit. Thanks for the great work.
You'll be visiting Spain!
@@tamsolutions6377 andalusia
@@tamsolutions6377It's Al Andalus❤️
Even though some the English videos don’t get as many views. Please keep doing them. They are so great!
Well researched, well explained and well presented, as usual.
wonderfully informative. I have been there many years ago and now I know so much more about this amazing place. Thank you.
You have an incredible gift, Manuel! I enjoy your videos immensely!
Exceptional as all your videos are Manuel. Thank you
Buenísimo como siempre Manuel!
gracias por presentar mi ciudad como la joya que es, me he emocionado con tus imágenes
Un abrazo 😘
Did any muslims remaining their?
@@vhcjcv5760yes
I'm glad they put a Church in the middle. Since there was a Church there before there was a Mosque.
Caliph bought the land from the Christians. Triple the market rate
In islam destroying churches is prohibited
@@jojoahmed6994 Yet they have done it a million times
@@theresecoco1887 rightnow destroying mosques is masive and no body care about churches
Chick it out
This was brilliant and insightful. Thank you!
Thank you for the thoughtful and beautiful video. I always look forward to learning something new and to better appreciate beautiful architecture when I click to watch them.
We visited this cathedral/mosque. And attended mass there. I wish we had seen your video first. It is a first class video which I very much enjoyed.
Bro, excellent videos, keep it up!!!
Your videos are the reason I'm visiting Andalusia right in this moment. I'll see the mosque-cathedral in 3 days ;)
Brilliant, as always.
great and very informative video. Love it.
This is amazing! Why did I learn about this channel just now?
We’ve just visited the Great Mosque today, and I must say that it is one of the most amazing buildings I’ve ever seen.
I greatly appreciate this video, as it’s concise and extremely informative. Many thanks Manuel!
Great video! Thank you for the wonderful content you provide
As an art historian and musician, I watched an extremely enjoyable and detailed video. I heard beautiful English and listened to an amazing presentation with no historical errors....thanks and regards💯✌🥀🌱
Thanks for your effort, I love your vids and I loved visiting the mosque.
A Masterful presentation!
wow this is great, thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you for this super informative documentary. I learned a bunch words such as "nave" and "voussoirs". I'm going to visit the most in June.
Always excellent and worthy to watch
Thank you so much Manual

I love your videos pictures are the best can’t wait to see Granada and Cortoba
Made me recall when I visited this amazing place, great video Manuel, saludos desde CDMX.
Thank you for this video, your videos are always very clear many right to the point.I do learn a lot by watching them. I could not go to cordoba when the last time I went to Spain, after watching your video, I think I need to see it my self😄.
Manuel, Que hermoso hablas inglés. Te felicito por tu claridad y buena educación que obtuviste. Eres genial 👍 ❤
You are a really great man thanks again for more education. In 2015 I visited the Grand Mosque of Dubai UAE. Thank God for religious freedom.
Such a nice and thoughtful presentation.
Excellent documentation, beautiful pictures and, a handsome guy.
I found this post just before I went to Cordaba. Thank you, really helped me appreciate this magnificent building.
If you get the chance to see this building, go.
Don't be put off is there are queues outside once you are in its big enough that you are not actually aware how many are inside.
you are awesome. Thanks for the very rich and informative video.
I went there this month (May 2024). It’s an amazing building.
SALUDOS MANUEL ♥️
EXELENTES VIDEOS, SIEMPRE APRENDEMOS CONTIGO 😃👍🇲🇽♥️
Es impresionante cómo nos transmites la sabiduría que has ido acumulando. Felicidades
It is Islamic heritage.
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen. Always loved the history of Spain, as it has gone through different cultures. Never got a chance to visit, but I am glad I could see the beauty of this Cathedral & Mosque through this video.
Brilliant video of a wonderful building
i learned so much, thank you !
Thank you for this Manuel.
Córdoba preciosa ciudad y su mezquita catedral digna de volver una y otra vez.
Excelente video 👏👏👌
Excellent! Thanks!
Well done , very informative
Thank you, very nice video
Visite este lugar en 2016. Maravilloso. Gracias Manuel. Sí es caliente ahi!
Bravo Manuel.
Wow. Beautiful
Visited the Mosque in 2010,most of the building is still the original mosque,1000 years ago it was the 2nd largest mosque after Makkah in Saudi Arabia,this mosque building is still one of the largest in the world.
yes huge! now a Cathedral.
@@beausu5823 it will return again to Mosque
@@obaida5801 it will Never BE. So dream On. 😂
@@beausu5823 The future cannot be predicted,and the present is a dream of the past.
@@obaida5801 that's it! Coming from you. The future can't be predicted. But you already assumed that it will return to Mosque. You are contradicting yourself. ahahha 😂😂😂
So dream On. It will NEVER BE A MOSQUE. Knowing the significant demographic of the area. ahahaha
Manuel bravo this video of mosque is beautiful
La Mezquita really is something to see. If you ever get the chance to go, do it.
I like this video because I love to know about Muslim Spain. About its architecture, culture, academic institutes, sciencetists.
Great work 👍
Beautiful video ❤❤❤
So Interesting!
Interesting video.
Muy bueno!!!
wonderful!
Great job🌸
Interesante video, antes de ser Mezquita fue la Basílica de San Vicente Mártir construida en el siglo VI. Actualmente Catedral de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora de forma eclesiástica, patrimonio de la humanidad.
Traditional accounts suggest this, however it is disputed by scholars and academics. The only certainty is that an 8th Century mosque was demolished to build it. Maybe the 8th century mosque was that old church?
No
La iglesia visigoda era anterior a la mezquita
Y a lo largo de los tiempos y la historia se fueron superponiendo la una a la otra
La pequeña iglesia visigoda casi desapareció por la mezquita, pero la mezquita sobrevivió gracias a la iglesia catedral que se reconstruyó, respetando la mezquita
No, that's debatable, but if there was, it would only be a small part of where the mosque is now, because it was the largest for hundreds of years.
I was there so many years ahí. Now it looks wonderful.
*years ago
¡Gracias!
Gracias a ti, Miguel, ¡un saludo!
This is amazing...❤
Salam and salute
I enjoyed and learned from your videos. Wish to see some episodes about Persepolis or Isfahan.
Love from Tehran
Bravo Manuel! :D
I know this is unintentional but we (Muslims) didn't portray our prophet nor any Islamic figure
Yeah, especially with that long moustache, prophet Muhammad would actually shaved his moustache.
Excelente
Manuel amazing content really! I watched two of your videos, they are very detailed and well-based. Thank you a lot for such beautiful videos. I just want to make an adjustment for the beginning, actually Muhammed rather than being a historical figure was the last prophet of Islam and he didn't find the religion but actually had the revelation from Allah. I mean it's what we believe. I just wanted to say that 💛Keep going on, it's amazing.
Amazing video! I wish they were still remains of the church of Saint Vincent 😢
Hoy día es la Catedral de Córdoba en Andalucía, España
Thanks!
Welcome!
Great historical presentation of Islamic architecture. It is national treasure and should be retained snd maintained without any religious biases.
Excellent 🤩
Podrias hacer uno de Alcazar de Sevilla?
Please a virtual tour in istanbul during ottoman empire!
Glad they turned it into a cathedral so we can flex on the cube worshippers
Amezing
wonderful film, it reminded me of my trip to mezqita!
Verry Fine.
Qurtuba .famous musjid Qurtuba in spain is the witness of fine art and culture of Muslim State in Spain.❤🎉❤
😂😂Il n'y a pas de culture musulmane en Espagne chrétienne espèce de spermatozoïdes égaré arrêt de dire des Mensonges Sur la culture des Espagnol qui est occidentale et Chrétienne
I would have enjoyed the mosque more if I had watched this vlog before visiting
