The Omeya Dynasty & the Caliphate
of Cordoba: Unveiling History
1 DAY TOUR
The Omeya Dynasty & the Caliphate
Take an exciting journey through time as we explore the northern region of Andalusia and delve into the legacy of the Omeya Dynasty and Caliphate of Cordoba. Venture through vast olive tree plantations and discover the rich history of Cordoba, majestic capital of the Moorish Empire during the 10th to 12th centuries.
Our first stop is the remarkable decentralisation project known as “Madinat Al Zahra,” a testament to the grandeur of the Moorish civilisation on the Iberian Peninsula. Witness the city’s “flowering flower,” an inspiring archaeological excavation that stands as a symbol of Cordoba’s past.
Next, we’ll journey into Cordoba’s charming old town, where the Jewish Synagogue and the Roman Bridge leave an indelible mark on the landscape. Take a leisurely carriage ride or stroll through the streets and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere.
For those wanting to enhance their experience, an optional lunch awaits, offering a taste of the region’s culinary delights.
The highlight of our tour awaits at the magnificent Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba. Step inside and be mesmerised by the intricate horseshoe-shaped arches and captivating mosaic artwork that exude the essence of Moorish craftsmanship. At the heart of this architectural marvel lies the cathedral, a testament to the city’s historical transformation after its Christian conquest in 1236.
Join us on this immersive journey as we unravel the fascinating tale of the Omeya Dynasty and the Caliphate of Cordoba, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
