This archaeological site features stunning architecture and rich history, showcasing the grandeur of a powerful medieval kingdom, perfect for curious tourists.

Medina Azahara, the sumptuous and mysterious city that Abd-al Rahman III ordered to be built at the foot of Sierra Morena, eight kilometers from Córdoba capital, contains, even in its name, legendary stories. The reason that may have prompted the caliph to found Medina Azahara was probably to give a renewed image of the newly created Independent Caliphate of the West, strong and powerful, one of the largest medieval kingdoms in Europe.
