Inside the monument, the visit takes you to some of its most recognisable spaces. You'll see the Patio de los Naranjos, whose current look is arranged with rows of orange trees, palms and cypresses as an outdoor continuation of the columns in the prayer hall. Then, inside, you'll walk through the forest of columns and arches, one of the building's most distinctive features.

One of the highlights of the visit is the mihrab, located in the maqsura area, here shaped as a small octagonal chamber covered by a scallop-shell dome and decorated with mosaics tied to the Byzantine tradition. Alongside that part, the building also brings together spaces that show its evolution over time, such as the transept, the choir, and other areas where Islamic and Christian periods overlap within the same monument.
