It was one of the most important cities in the world. From that time left the Mosque Cathedral , world heritage by UNESCO.

Archeological Tour - Cordoba and its history.
Overview of your Cordoba tour
A perfect complement to the visit of the Mosque is the archaeological site of Madinat al-Zahra and the Interpretation Center, located 10 km from the city. Visiting with me this place, you will discover the history of it and of course a private visit allows to enjoy much better the archaeological site. I have been guiding this place for more than 25 years, do not miss the opportunity to know it. The City Palatine built by Abderrahman III, first Caliph of Qurtuba and center of his power, the Dar Al Mulk. 110 hectares of which only 10% have been excavated. It was built in only 20 yeas, and was not only the Caliph's house, but also the goverment place. The remains left were used centuries later to build other buildings, as a Monastery near by Medina Azahara. In XIX the remains of the city were discovered and now we have the chance to visit them and the Interpretation Center
