About the tour
Less than 8 kilometers to the west of Cordoba, Medina Azahara is located. Medina Azahara are the ruins of a large walled off city that was built from the year 936 onwards on behalf of Abd al-Rahmann III, the ruler of the Caliphate of Cordoba. What’s visible of the ruins today is only 10 percent of the total size of the city.
The city was divided over three levels, which was possible due to the geographical location. The city was built on uneven terrain. The lower layer of the city was for homes and the mosque, the second layer was for governmental buildings and the royal palace was located on the top layer of the city.
The guided walking tour through Medina Azahara takes about three hours. You also get the time to visit the museum and the visitor center. Prepare yourself for a wonderful tour and interesting stories!
