The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, officially known by its ecclesiastical name, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Córdoba dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and located in the Spanish region of Andalusia. Due to its status as a former Islamic mosque, it is also known as the Mezquita and as the Great Mosque of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita de Córdoba).
According to traditional accounts a Visigothic church, the Catholic Christian Basilica of Saint Vincent of Saragossa, originally stood on the site of the current Mosque-Cathedral, although the historicity of this narrative has been questioned by scholars. The Great Mosque was constructed on the orders of Abd ar-Rahman I in 785 CE, when Córdoba was the capital of the Muslim-controlled region of Al-Andalus. It was expanded multiple times afterwards under Abd ar-Rahman's successors up to the late 10th century. Among the most notable additions, Abd ar-Rahman III added a minaret (finished in 958) and his son Al-Hakam II added a richly-decorated new mihrab and maqsura section The mosque was converted to a cathedral in 1236 when Córdoba was captured by the Christian forces of Castile during the Reconquista. The structure itself underwent only minor modifications until a major building project in the 16th century inserted a new Renaissance cathedral nave and transept into the center of the building. The former minaret, which had been converted to a bell tower, was also significantly remodelled around this time. Starting in the 19th century, modern restorations have in turn led to the recovery and study of some of the building's Islamic-era elements. Today, the building continues to serve as the city's cathedral and Mass is celebrated therein daily.
The mosque structure is regarded as an important monument in the history of Islamic architecture and is considered by many scholars to have been highly influential on the subsequent "Moorish" architecture of the western Mediterranean regions of the Muslim world. It is also one of Spain's major historic monuments and tourist attractions, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.

The village was cut out mostly during the middle Byzantine period of the 9th to 11th century, when its Greek name was "Potamia". The top part served as a castle and watchtower over the region, from which it had far views. During this time it was an important rural settlement of Cappadocia. After the Seljuk Turkish invasion and during the later Ottoman period, the village Turkified but remained multicultural with its Turkish, Greek and Armenian inhabitants. Many of the beautiful old mansions, built as extensions of the cave dwellings, and a few mosques date to this period. Below the village is a green valley with a small stream, which you can follow up to the village of Ibrahimpasa.
Ortahisar, meaning "middle castle" in Turkish due to its geographical position between Ürgup and Üchisar, is one of the more quieter touristic villages of Cappadocia, and still inhabited by many locals. Many of its old mansions are still in ruins, yet some are being restored to become hotels.
