How was the Great Mosque of Cordoba an example of how much had changed and at the same time, how much had remained the same after the fall of Rome?

Ans: Essays should include that Roman arches and arcades remained but were now horse shoe in shape. Students should discuss that shapes and colors emphasized local traditions, and many shapes were an imitation of Roman aqueducts. They should also mention that many features had both Syrian and Byzantine characteristics and that the building itself had a basilican shape, with the alter space once used for Christian ritual now oriented to the Qibla wall, which faced Mecca
