Guided Tour of Medina Azahara

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

The adventure begins at the Visitor Center, where you’ll check in. Next, you’ll visit the museum, which houses unique archaeological artifacts that will transport you back to this golden age. Afterward, you’ll explore the impressive archaeological site, where the majestic “Shining City” once stood. Finally, you’ll have the chance to enjoy an incredible 3D projection on your own that recreates the grandeur of this historic city.

In the summer, the experience becomes even more special: tours take place at night, with the city illuminated by the stars. During this season, only the archaeological site is open to visitors, as the Visitor Center remains closed.
