    Medina Azahara, the lavish and mysterious city that Abd-al Rahman III had built at the foot of the Sierra Morena, eight kilometers from the capital of Córdoba, contains, even in its name, legendary stories.

    Imposing site, a World Heritage Site, which Abderramán III had built as a sign of his power and which his enemies later destroyed with the same symbolism. The latest restoration and museography are impeccable and make the place even more special.
