The Great Mosque that was built there, today a famous cathedral Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba. There are reports that the Library in Cordoba contained over 400,000 books.

Explanation:

Cordoba became the capital of the Muslim emirate and then the Cordoba Caliphate, which covered much of the Iberian Peninsula. During the Moorish reign, the city flourished and became a center of knowledge and learning, and by the 10th century it was probably the largest city in Europe. The end of the golden period was marked by the conquest of the Spaniards in 1236 within the Reconquista.
