There was many. Also the Jews had their own buildings.

And Muslim Spain in that period was more tolerant than other regions. And Christians, Jews had possibilities to change of class category...

Obviously, this freedom always being compared with other territories of the same period. And Christians, Jews... had more freedom than in the Catholic Spain.

The mosque at Cordoba, that great beauty of world architecture, was built on the site of the church of St Vincent, demolished to make way for it. In the early years after the Muslim invasion, Christians had been allowed to worship in part of the cathedral site, all their other churches having been demolished at the conquest. But under the Ummayyads, the founders of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the Christians had to relinquish their part of St Vincent's.
