ACORDOBA06316

Doorway of al-Hakan II; Circa 961 AD; Western Façade; Great Mosque, Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain; The frieze with interlaced arches supported upon small marble columns, alternates designs of vine leaves and swastikas crosses; The perforated capitals are reminiscent of Byzantine art; They support strong imposts which in turn absorb the downward thrust of the overhanging arches.
