Reception Hall
The reception hall was the setting for lavish official receptions and the accompanying festivities.
Accompanied by palatine officials, the caliph received ambassadors of Christian and African kingdoms, and walies.
When Abd al-Rahman III proclaimed himself caliph, he ordered a palace city to be built in the suburbs of Cordoba, Medina Azahara, which ennobled his power in the West.
The wealth of materials used can be seen from the remains of this city. The opulence stands out particularly in the Rico Chamber, a room used for political receptions and important celebrations. The Rico Chamber is considered, without doubt, to be the true symbol and emblem of the entire caliphal complex of Medina Azahara.
At Ciudad Al-ManSur, these acts will be represented accompanied by a magnificently staged theatre-musical show, replete with magic and special effects.
