Does anyone know if you can use a tripod to take photos inside the mosque?
Thanks

I have a feeling that you would be told not to use it if spotted by an attendant ! Maybe if it is one of those smaller collapsible tripods which you rig up in one of the many spaces within the Mezquita out of sight of the attendant it would be fine ! As long as it fitted in your coat ! Taking pictures inside is of course allowed.
It is a large space.
Perhaps there are other options of keeping the camera solid when taking a picture that is not going to upset the attendant ?

Thank you for your message, My tripod is quite a sturdy one and does not collapse to a small size. I will either take a monopod or try and rest the camera on a reasonably flat surface.Thanks very much.

Yes of course.enjoy in spain.

I don't recall anyone having a tripod when I was there but surely you should not have a problem. You might get swindled into having to pay a bit more for the tripod! Maybe...who knows. If you do, oh well, it'll be the only way to bring it into the mosque. I think as long as you're not disrupting anyone or any tour group it should be fine.

My suggestion would be to go on your own to take these photos as opposed to with a tour group so that nobody is waiting for you and you can take all the time in the world to take as many photos as you'd like. Definitely take a guided tour at some point though so you get all the history and crucial information about the mosque as its very interesting, (i.e. different architectural styles that were influenced throughout the years).

By all means take your tripod, capture beautiful images, enjoy the mosque, Cordoba, and all of Andalucia.

No, it is forbidden. It says in the rules on the back of the ticket.

Enjoy your stay
