Overview of the tour in Cordoba

The Shining City is World Heritage from 2018, its story begins with the designation of Abd al-Rahman III as the first caliph of Córdoba. Aiming to show the rest of the world his new status, he ordered the construction of a palatial city eight kilometres away from the capital.

We will meet first-hand the Umayyad site and the Medina Azahara Museum, where the vision of the complex will be completed, and we’ll discover, for example, the famous Cervatillo. Become the kings, queens and ambassadors who came to this place to admire its splendour.
