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

Ce qu'il faut voir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La ville a \u00e9t\u00e9 construite en terrasses \u00e0 flanc de colline, ce qui permet de descendre en passant par diff\u00e9rents niveaux. La partie la plus belle est la salle d\u2019Abd al-Rahman III, une salle de r\u00e9ception dot\u00e9e d\u2019arcs en fer \u00e0 cheval reconstruits et de superbes d\u00e9corations sculpt\u00e9es dans la pierre. On peut \u00e9galement y voir les vestiges de rues, de maisons, de jardins, de la mosqu\u00e9e et du grand porche vo\u00fbt\u00e9 du palais. Le site offre une vue imprenable sur la vall\u00e9e du Guadalquivir. Commencez votre visite par le mus\u00e9e moderne situ\u00e9 \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 du parking. Il retrace l'histoire de la ville et pr\u00e9sente des objets d\u00e9couverts lors des fouilles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment s'y rendre et informations pratiques<\/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
