Guided tour of the Mosque of Cordoba + Medina Azahara

Medina Azahara and the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba are two jewels of the Andalusian heritage that reflect one of the most fruitful periods of the city.

Once at the site, an expert guide will lead you through the remains of this ancient palatine city from the 10th century and you will understand the history of the Caliphate.

In the afternoon, the tour continues at the Mosque-Cathedral, where you will understand the fusion between the Islamic and Christian architecture of Cordoba.
