"The Caliphate city of Medina Azahara is an archaeological site of a city built in the mid-10th century CE by the Umayyad dynasty as the seat of the Caliphate of Cordoba. After prospering for several
years, it was laid to waste during the civil war that put an end to the
Caliphate in 1009-1010. The remains of the city were forgotten for almost 1,000 years until their rediscovery in the early 20th century.
This complete urban ensemble features infrastructure such as roads,
bridges, water systems, buildings, decorative elements and everyday objects. It provides in-depth knowledge of the now vanished Western
Islamic civilization of Al-Andalus, at the height of its splendour."
哈里发的阿尔扎哈拉古城
“该遗产地是一个城市考古遗址，由倭马亚王朝建于公元10世纪中叶，是科尔多瓦哈里发的所在地。经过数年繁荣后，1009-1010年的内战期间摧毁了哈里发国家，也导致了城市的废弃。其遗迹被遗忘了近千年，直到20世纪初被重新发现。这个完整的城市综合体拥有道路、桥梁、水务系统、各类建筑、装饰元素和日用基础设施等。此遗产地展示了现已消失的安达卢斯西方伊斯兰文明在其鼎盛时期的风貌。”
