The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is one of the most significant examples of Islamic architecture in the Western world. Its uniqueness arises from the combination of various historical, artistic, and religious features present in a single space. In 1984, the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba was inscribed on the World Heritage List, thereby recognizing its outstanding universal value to humanity. Today, it serves an important cultural function, attracting up to two million visitors per year. At the same time, the area designated for the cathedral is used for liturgical services and other religious ceremonies by the Catholic Church. This paper is based on the premise that the cultural and liturgical uses of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba can and should be reconciled. By examining the legal and administrative measures taken by the Bishopric of Cordoba, it uncovers the recent attempts to promote a narrative that emphasizes the Christian aspect of the building at the expense of its Islamic heritage. Consequently, this paper seeks to draw the attention to the importance of preserving the authenticity of the intangible attributes of the Mosque-Cathedral such as its history and the sanctity of its different spaces. It argues that just maintaining the physical structure of the building is not enough to protect the Mosque-Cathedral as a UNESCO World Heritage site and to fulfil the fundamental rights of both cultural and religious communities. Furthermore, the paper highlights the significance of storytelling in showcasing the Mosque-Cathedral and similar monuments as powerful symbols of religious pluralism in Europe.
