FILE - In this Aug. 6, 2009 file photo, tourists visit the Great Mosque of Cordoba in southern Spain. Catholic Church authorities in the southern Spanish city of Cordoba have agreed to restore the Islamic reference in the name of the city's famed mosque-cathedral and stop referring to it as simply "The Cordoba Cathedral." The decision was welcomed Friday April 1, 2016 by the Mosque-Cathedral protest group that complained that church policy of calling the monument "The Cordoba Cathedral" on pamphlets and tickets in recent years was an attempt to blot out its Islamic past and confused tourists.The mosque was built after the Moorish invasion of Spain in the 8th century but was transformed into a cathedral in the 13th century. It is a UNESCO World Heritage. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez, File)
