The inside story
The Medina Azahara (the Shining City) of Córdoba is the ruins of a fortified palace and city found at the base of the Sierra Morena mountains just 8km from the city centre of Córdoba. Considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Spain, it is also a popular tourist attraction for those visiting Córdoba.
Construction of the new city began in 936 as an assertion of power by Caliph Abd-al Rahman III. Originally constructed as the Caliph’s residence and headquarters of the Caliphate, the city quickly became one of the most powerful and influential medieval kingdoms in all of Europe.
