Today, was a great day in Cordoba. I was able to enjoy two great sights within the city and area of Cordoba. First, this morning I took nearly 400 photos within the Cordoba Cathedral/Mesquita and after a relaxing time back at my hotel, I was able to see the Madinat Al-Zahra. This was the capital seat of the Omeyid Caliphate of Cordoba for a period of 70 years during the tenth-eleventh centuries in Spain. It was an archeological sight and the museum at the site offered a two minute bus ride which dropped you right by the sight. It reminded me easily of roman sites that I had seen within Turkey. I am including some sample photos of the ruins of this magnificent building below. The pictures I took today at the site mirror the photos below.
Tomorrow, I will be leaving for Salamanca and Madrid.
