About this experience
Going on a guided tour with us to Medina Azahara means learning, from historians and archaeologists, about a city which was used as headquarters by the first Caliph from Córdoba, Abd al-Rahman III, and his government.
What to expect
Stop 1 · 3h
Take a trip to the Azahara Medina, just a short trip from Córdoba, for a fascinating guided tour of this historic site. Explore the incredible architecture of this palace-city, built as the Caliphate of Cordoba's seat of government in the 10th century. In order to realize the guided tour you will have two options: a) Recruit the visit with a bus included that moves daily to the facilities, b) You can be directly to the settlement in your own vehicle (free parking). If you choose the first option, you will have to be in the bus stop with previous reservation. It is located between the Hotel Eurostars Palace and the Red Cross Hospital. Once you have taken the bus, you can simply relax and meet the expert personal guide who is waiting for you. There you can enjoy a complete guided tour to the settlement and then to interpretation centre that holds a unique collection of ancient objects recovered from the facilities.
