Medina Azahara
For today's excursion, we went to the ancient ruins of Medina Azahara, the nesting capital. The meaning of the name Medina Azahara is "the bright city". In the museum you could see many archaeological artifacts that were found in the ruins. Medina Azahara began to be built in 936 and finished 940. In the medina there were patios, mosque, gardens, and residences with bathrooms. It was built on the site where the Romans had an aqueduct from Sierra Morena to Cordoba. Medina Azahara was a symbol of power, this could be seen in the small portion that was excavated.
