What you can expect

The Caliph of Umayyad Córdoba, Abd al- Rahman III, ordered the construction of palace-city of Madinat al-Zahra, meaning “brilliant city” in Arabic, in the early 10th century.

Located about 5 miles (8 km) from the city of Córdoba, this amazing collection of ornate buildings and monuments was created as a symbol of the Caliphi's power against its enemies. They also served as official government buildings.

On your visit to this breathtaking site, you can choose between two options: a guided tour with or without a tourist bus.

Guided Tour (with bus):
Hop aboard the site's tourist bus and make your way to the centre of the palatial city. Once there, visit the impressive visitor centre before heading north to explore the main sections of the city, one by one.

Guided Tour (without bus):
Start with a visit to the impressive visitor centre, where you will explore Spain's fascinating Moorish history and enjoy a screening of a video that virtually recreates how this historic city was in the 10th century. Later, head north to explore the main sections of the city, one by one.
