Medina Azahara

Ruins of a palace-city built in the 10th century by order of Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III, approximately 8 km west of Córdoba. The complex was completely destroyed in the 11th century, and systematic excavations have been ongoing since 1911. UNESCO inscribed the site on the World Heritage List in 2018.
