Cordoba is among the best tourist resorts of Spain and the city has a number of places which are worth visiting. Some of the excursions in Cordoba are:

Medina-Al-Zahra Ruins

This small town is located at a distance of eight kilometers from the city of Cordoba and is among the most historical places remaining from the Moorish rule in Spain. During the year 936, Adul Rehman the Moorish ruler decided to establish a new town for residential reasons and he developed the Medina-al-Zahra town which was the biggest town in the entire region during those times. The town was built by employing ten thousand workers and it took them twenty-five years to establish the town. In the construction of this town, they used 43 hundred columns and these were taken from the older structures of the Mediterranean region.

Alcazar Califal was the name of Palace which was located at the top of the hill and the administrative structure is located here along with many gardens and parks while the original town is situated on a flat piece of land nearby. The Throne Hall Place and the Golden Salon Palace are famous for their lavish interior decoration and the use of ornaments and marble. In the middle of these palaces, there is a basin which is filled with mercury which was then used to reflect the sun rays. However, all this great and beautiful work could only exist for seventy four years as later on this area was occupied by the Berberes who destroyed most of the infrastructure in the area. A great majority of the artistic works in the area were stolen and later on most of this work was incorporated in the various other palaces in the city of Cordoba.
