25 Church of Santa Marina in Córdoba, Spain

Similar to many of the Fernandine Churches in Córdoba, Iglesia de Santa Marina de Aguas Santas occupies land where a Visigoth church and later a mosque once stood. Construction began in the late 13th century and finished in the 14th. The very large façade of the Church of Santa Marina – resembling a fortress – is bland except for the dominate rose window. The more attractive, 16th bell tower by Hernán Ruiz II has a Renaissance design. This church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene has had a challenging history. It was severely damaged by earthquakes in 1680 and 1755 plus fires in 1889 and 1936. Its last restoration was in 1998. Admission is free to see the lovely altarpiece dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary (Virgin of El Rosario).
