Things to do Free Tour of Medina Azahara of Cordoba

do you want to visit the real jewel of Cordoba? We will discover this palatine city located 8 kilometers from Cordoba, at the foot of Sierra Morena. For centuries it was completely abandoned, until the early twentieth century was unearthed and raised as a fully descriptive space of Andalusian art. Within its walls, it housed great riches, such as mercury pools, gold roofs and ataurique decorations, which made it the land of choice for philosophers, caliphs, military men and princes of the time. In this guided tour of Medina Azahara we will walk through the streets that once housed the ancient civil and military administration of Al-Andalus. We will also travel back in time to get lost among its ruins, corridors, guard and servants' rooms, mosques, towers and royal halls, pool and the great portico, where we can imagine what life was like in that majestic palace. In addition, on our guided tour, we will visit the Medina Azahara Interpretation Center, which in 2012 was named "European Museum of the Year". Book now and discover the "Shining City" with us!
