We have already referred to the expansion of Al-Hakam II in the Mosque of Cordoba in two previous papers. Herein we focused on the great maqsura covering the three central naves and also discussed that existing forms of the maqsura and the mihrab of times of the Emirate should probably have been taken into account by the new monarch when setting its expansion and especially the first sections of the three central naves. The investigation that we will carry out here will be precisely centered on the most easterly of these, where in a later moment the Capilla Real would be installed. We will focus on the transformation of the nave, after al-Hakam II but still in the Islamic period, when it was awarded with a renewed appearance and surely a new role.
