Itinerario
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.

5Uncovering a caliph’s palace
Amazing recent excavations at this site with city limits of Cordova.
5Must have for visiting the Medina Azahara
I’m not usually a tour person, I like to travel independently and on my own time, however considering this was an archeological site, having a tour guide seemed like a good option. Our guide, Almudena was fantastic, she is a historian and provided so much context for the site and brought it to life with the stories of the people of the time, and offered lots of insight into the reason for the designs of the site. Our experience would’ve been diminished without her guidance.

The guide was super knowledgeable and easily helped us understand what life was like in this vast city
3Site was beautiful but...
Site was beautiful but logistics did not run smoothly. Accused of not paying our correct entrance fee, having us wait for the bus too early in the hot sun when it runs on a set schedule to begin with. We found the guide to be a bit rude in the way she spoke to members of the group and careless with the hot weather - ex. stopping us all to speak directly in the hot sun in 98F weather when there was shade a short walk away.
5Very interesting and...
Very interesting and factual, excellent guide. Very hot though, need a sunhat, and comfortable shoes as uneven ground
4Big and well preserved just get a guide
This one is a bit away from the city center and hard to navigate by public transport. Its a pretty big site to get the context and also to make transport easy strongly recommended to do a guided tour. The site itself doesnt have much explanatory signage. Otherwise its big and well preserved. It is fully outdoor and can be unpleasant under the summer sun.

About Córdoba
Córdoba is an Andalusian city on the Guadalquivir, once the capital of Moorish Spain, with the great Mezquita, a Roman bridge and flower-filled patios.
Córdoba was the capital of Moorish Spain in the 10th century, one of the largest and most learned cities in Europe, and its old town is a World Heritage site. The Mezquita-Catedral, begun as a mosque in the 8th century, has a forest of double-arched columns in red and white and a Christian cathedral built inside it in the 16th century. A Roman bridge crosses the Guadalquivir to the Calahorra Tower.
Top-ranked sights in Córdoba: Mezquita (Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba), Cordoba Jewish Quarter (Judería de Córdoba), Roman Bridge (Puente Romano).
