Mezquita of Córdoba: is it open to visitors on your date?
Short answer: Fri 6 Nov 2026: Open to visitors 08:30–09:20 and 10:00–18:00; closed for the morning Mass.
The former great mosque is Córdoba's cathedral, and Mass is still said every day in the choir built into its heart. Sightseeing stops while Mass is celebrated, which is why Sunday visitors find the doors shut at midday.
