Description
Disfrute de una visita nocturna a Medina Azahara. Recorreremos el yacimiento, conociendo la terraza alta, donde residieron algunos de los califas omeyas, y la terraza media, donde se encuentran palacios, zonas de servicio y escenarios de representación de poder como el pórtico oriental. Esta visita es ideal en los meses calurosos de verano, ya que se visita al anochecer, cuando han bajado las temperaturas. Tendrá unas vistas maravillosas de la antigua ciudad palatina, recientemente iluminada desde su declaración como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2018. Disfrutará del paisaje en plena Sierra Morena, con las luces de fondo de la actual Córdoba.
A menos de 10 km de Córdoba se encuentra uno de los yacimientos más importantes de Europa, la ciudad palatina de Medina Azahara, mandada a construir por orden del califa Abderramán III en el siglo X. En ella llegaron a vivir más de 15.000 personas, y fue famosa por su enorme lujo, su cuidada planificación y sus hermosos jardines.
Conozca la historia y leyendas que enriquecen el pasado de Córdoba en su época de esplendor.
