Epoch visigoda
Cordova, probably for religious motives (for the strong implantation(introduction) of the catholicism opposite to the arrianismo), never managed to accept the power visigodo, which it(he,she) demonstrated (and consigió during some epochs) by means of revolts to the centralist power.

In the cultural area a great brilliance was reached, counting, during Alhaken II's caliphate with the major(bigger) library of the world in this epoch.
Epoch christens (Middle Ages)
With the almohades it(he,she) lost his(its) condition of Al's capital. What there meant the beginning of his(its) long billiard cue decandencia, marked when in 1236 it was conquered by the Christians (Fernando III).
It was a strong square(seat) for the conquest of Granada on the part of the Kings Católicos who established for several years the court in the city.

In this epoch and due to diverse epidemics, droughts, and governing villains in the city, Cordova lost great part(report) of his(its) mentality luchadora and opened, which was a culture medium for the defeatism, sometimes called erroneously senequismo, that still(yet) shows in our days. This decadence ended at the beginning of the century XX with the demographic recovery, though it was not corresponded(fitted) by a real economic recovery. Trend that did not change up to happened the century with the appearance of cultural important movements that have been opening, little by little, the way of thinking of the population.
