    Cities in Al-Andalus served as centers of trade, manufacturing, and Islamic governance. Some notable sites included the Alcázar palace in Seville, the first Muslim palace, and the mosque in Córdoba, originally built as a mosque but now a cathedral. The streets of Andalusian cities were often narrow and winding to suit the climate. Economic activities concentrated in cities, which connected international trade routes and sometimes grew very populous, like Córdoba with over 300,000 inhabitants. A typical Andalusian city contained defensive structures, a central market square, and neighborhoods surrounding the walled city center.
