Full Description

In the early tenth century, Abd al-Rahman III, the Umayyad caliph of Córdoba, ordered the construction of Madinat al-Zahra, or "brilliant city" in Arabic.
Located approximately 8 km from Córdoba, this stunning array of elaborate structures and monuments was built as a testament to the power of the Caliph against his adversaries. They also functioned as official government structures.
You have two options to visit this amazing place: a tour with or without a tourist bus.

Guided Tour (Bus): Board a sightseeing bus on site and head into the heart of the opulent city. Once there, check out the remarkable visitor center before heading north to explore each of the city's main neighborhoods in turn.

Guided Tour (no bus): Start by visiting the wonderful visitor center where you can learn about Spain's interesting Moorish past and take a video that essentially takes you back to this historic city in the tenth century. Later, head north to visit each of the city's main districts separately.
