Overview

Discover the secrets, legends and hidden corners of Medina Azahara, the palatine city built by Abderramán III, the first caliph of al-Andalus.

The adventure begins at the Reception Center, where registration takes place. Then, you will visit the museum, which houses unique archaeological pieces that will transport you back to the splendorous era. Afterwards, you will tour the impressive archaeological site, where the majestic Shining City was built. Finally, you can enjoy on your own an incredible 3D projection that recreates the grandeur of this historic city.

In summer, the experience becomes even more special: the visits take place at night, with the city illuminated under the stars. During this season only the site is visited, as the Visitor Center is closed.
