The opening event will be held on Thursday, June 6 at 8:00 p.m. and will be attended by Mr. Joaquín Pérez-Villanueva, the Ambassador of Spain in Saudi Arabia, Engineer Mohamed Bahrawi, a Founding Partner of Arabian Wings Co. and Engineer Mohamed Hakami of the Jameel Foundation.

This exhibition is made up of a selection of 50 photographs from the first photographic contest “From Qurtuba to Córdoba,” held by Casa Árabe with the objective of rediscovering and finding a new appreciation, through photography, for the local heritage related with the period of Al-Andalus, by looking through these photographers’ lenses to see the Arab and Islamic legacy of the city of Cordoba.

The theme of all the snapshots is based on the seven categories into which the contest was classified: the Aljama Mosque and environs; Madinat al-Zahra; City Walls, City Gates, fortified towers and urban fabric; Minarets; Arab Baths; the Mudejar style; and freely chosen topics. The exhibition will be open to the public until June 27.
