Cathedral Mosque the Mihrab, Córdoba: 10 reviews and 21 photos
No, it is not looking to La Meca. Not sure if it is true or not but there are some histories.
One says that he was homesick of Damascus, so he constructed in direction to Damascus instead of La Meca, others say that as it was constructed the Mosque over the ruins of a Visigoth church, they could not change it.
Also the mihrab has another purpose, here the imam leads the prayers from here and thanks to the shape, his voice can be heard all around (and I know that as you can head the Iman in Marbella on Fridays when you pass around the mosque)
