Córdoba's historic centre - UNESCO World Heritage series
The coin commemorates the historic centre of Cordoba, the first Spanish site to be included in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1984. It portrays the "forest of pillars" of the Great Mosque of Córdoba, one of the most significant and oldest examples of Islamic art in Europe. Built between the 8th and 10th centuries, the Mosque was later consecrated as a Christian cathedral and underwent a series of transformations.
The coin is the first in a new series dedicated to the Spanish sites on the UNESCO's World Heritage List. One such commemorative coin will be issued every year as from 2010. The coin's outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
