Enjoy the Brilliant Palatine City built by Abderraman III, the Great Caliph of Al Andalus.
We visited the archaeological site of a palatine city of 112 hectares of which today we visit 10% of what was a brilliant city that the first Caliph of Al Andalus Abderraman III ordered to build in the middle of the tenth century to demonstrate the great power he wielded.
At 8 kilometers from what was the great capital of the Caliphate of Al Andalus in the Golden Age of the Umayyad Dynasty, where more than 500,000 inhabitants lived in the great capital of Western Islam, the palatial part of that great city is preserved, the highest area of Medina Azahara, where the Caliph, his heir and his Vizier Yafar lived.
An important fortified city like no other would have been until then and where the luxury and power that the Great Umayyad Caliph showed surprised all the embassies from Christian Kingdoms, Empires such as Byzantium and other Emirates and Caliphates that came to pay their respects to the Great Caliph of Al Andalus.
Let yourself be guided through the tunnel of time to enjoy the marvelous city that, located on the hill of the Cordoba mountains, allowed you to see a large part of the Cordoba countryside, with the help of official guides who will take you into the rich Umayyad culture.
