The cathedral also contains Romanesque, French Gothic, Renaissance art, Baroque and neoclassical elements. There are several chalices that are claimed to be the Holy Grail spread over the world. One of them is in a chapel of the Cathedral. Several Christian historians claim that the one in the chapel is most likely the authentic cup used at the Last Supper. It was the official papal chalice for many popes, and has been used by many others, most recently by Pope Benedict XVI, on July 9, 2006. This chalice dates from the 1st century. It was given to the cathedral by king Alfons el Magnànim in 1436. The cathedral also contains examples of some of the earliest and best Quattrocento paintings of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Holy Grail is an artifact from Christians beliefs. According to a story, it is the cup or plate used by Jesus at the Last Supper. It was later used to catch his blood when he had to die on the cross. According to the story, it has special powers. Many stories of the Arthurian Legend are about the Holy Grail. The first to write about it was Chrétien de Troyes. The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron which has special powers. The connection of Joseph of Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de Boron's "Joseph d'Arimathie". In the story, Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus Christ, and sends it with his followers to Great Britain; building upon this theme, later writers told how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while burying him and that in Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. A cup that could have been the Holy Grail can be seen in Valencia Cathedral. The term "Holy Grail" is often used as a metaphor for something very important or special.

The European economy in the Middle Ages was based on the idea of manorialism ("seigneurialism"). The medieval economy relied mainly on agriculture. Manorialism describes how land was distributed and who profited from the land. Overview. In medieval manorialism, a lord received a piece of land (usually from a more powerful nobleman or the King). After that, the lord owned the land - and everything that was on it. That included most of the peasants who lived on the land, including serfs.  The peasants were commoners: ordinary people who had no social status. Usually, the peasants also had to work on the lord's lands for free. In return, the lord gave protection to the peasants and allowed them to live on his land. Lords had certain legal powers, like that of a police force.  Tributes. Peasants were their lord's subjects and had to pay tributes to him. The amount they had to pay varied. They could pay with money, but because they were subsistence farmers, they had no money.  Peasants could pay tributes in other ways. They could do free work for their lord. They could also give the lord some of the food they grew. Typically they would give the lord a certain percentage of their harvest (for example, 10%). This method is also called "sharecropping" or "payment in nature". Common features. Classes of land. Under manorialism, there were up to three different classes of land. Not every lord had all three of these types of land on his manor.  The first class of land was called "demesne". The lord controlled this land and used it for himself.  Villeins lived and worked on the second type of land: "dependent holdings". Villeins were peasants who were allowed to live on the lord's land, but had to work for him or pay him tributes.  The final class was "free peasant land." Peasants in this class rented land from the lord. They paid an amount of rent that did not change over time. They were still  They were still a part of the manor and had to follow its rules. However

The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic cathedral. It used to be a mosque in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain. At first the site had been used for a temple, then a Christian cathedral. Under the rule of Islam, it was built as the second-largest mosque in the world. It is perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba. It changed into mosque in Middle Ages. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was changed back into a church, and some of the Islamic columns and arcs were replaced by a basilica in early Baroque style. Many early mosques have a square or rectangular plan. They also have a prayer hall and an enclosed courtyard. This is known as Arab-plan. The first mosques of this type were built during the Umayyad Dynasty. In the warm Mediterranean and Middle Eastern climates, the courtyard served to hold the large number of worshippers during Friday prayers. Often, hypostyle mosques have outer arcades. They allow the visitors to enjoy the shade. Arab-plan mosques were built mostly during the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties. The Arab plan was very simple, which did not allow for much further development. This caused that style of mosque to fall out of favour. The flat roof of the prayer hall was supported by columns. Many rows of columns were needed to support such roofs;. this is called "hypostyle architecture". Today it houses the main church of the diocese of Cordoba in Spain. One of the most famous hypostyle mosques, it is supported by over 850 columns.
