Medina Azahara (Madinat al-Zahra) is the ruins of a great palace city near C\u00f3rdoba, in Andalusia, in the south of Spain. It was built from the year 936 by Abd al-Rahman III, the first caliph of C\u00f3rdoba, when C\u00f3rdoba was one of the richest cities in Europe. The city had palaces, gardens, mosques, homes and offices, and it was the centre of government. But it was used for only about 70 years. Around 1010 it was destroyed during a civil war and slowly forgotten. Today it is an important archaeological site and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was es zu sehen gibt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die Stadt wurde auf Terrassen am Hang eines H\u00fcgels erbaut, sodass man durch verschiedene Ebenen hinuntergeht. Der sch\u00f6nste Teil ist der Saal von Abd al-Rahman III., ein Empfangssaal mit rekonstruierten Hufeisenb\u00f6gen und feinen Steinverzierungen. Au\u00dferdem kann man die \u00dcberreste von Stra\u00dfen, H\u00e4usern, G\u00e4rten, der Moschee und der gro\u00dfen Gew\u00f6lbepassage des Palastes besichtigen. Von der Ausgrabungsst\u00e4tte aus hat man einen weiten Blick \u00fcber das Tal des Flusses Guadalquivir. Beginnen Sie Ihren Besuch im modernen Museum neben dem Parkplatz. Dort wird die Geschichte der Stadt erl\u00e4utert und es werden Fundst\u00fccke aus den Ausgrabungen gezeigt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anreise und praktische Informationen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Medina Azahara is about 8 kilometres west of the centre of C\u00f3rdoba. You can go by car, taxi, organised tour or tourist bus from the city. From the museum and car park, a small shuttle bus takes visitors up to the ruins, about 2 kilometres away. Entry to the site is free for citizens of the European Union and costs very little for other visitors, and there is a small charge for the shuttle bus. The site is closed on Mondays. There is little shade, so in summer it is best to visit early in the day and bring water and a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
