Medina Azahara Self-Guided Tour
Visiting Medina Azahara is a fascinating experience that will transport you to the golden age of the Emirate of Córdoba. Although lesser known than the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, it offers a unique and complementary perspective on the city's history. You'll imagine the luxurious life and the strict protocol followed at court when you see the remains of its palaces, gardens, and structures. As you explore its ruins, you'll admire its sophisticated urban planning, a milestone of the Caliphate architecture.
Although it's possible to visit Medina Azahara at your own pace, we recommend a guided tour to learn about its history in full detail.
