	020 of 145. The interior of the Great Mosque of Cordoba has a Gothic "chapel" inserted into it. In the early 16th century the Bishop and Canons of the cathedral proposed the construction of a new cathedral, and proposed to demolish the mosque in order to build it. The opposition of the townspeople to the proposed destruction of the building led to the unprecedented decision to build an entire Gothic Chapel inside it.
