EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the Moorish palace of Medina Az-Zahra, a remarkable architectural masterpiece from the 1st century. Built by Aberahman III, an esteemed artist and ruler during his time, this magnificent structure stood as a testament to his vision and creativity. The palace was constructed around 936 AD in what is now known as Andalusia, Spain. The image captures the building's exterior facade in vivid color, highlighting its intricate details and unique Moorish design elements. The play of light on the walls adds depth and dimension to this ancient marvel. It is evident that every aspect of this palace was carefully crafted with precision and skill. Tragically, despite its splendor, the fate of Medina Az-Zahra took a devastating turn when it was destroyed in AD 1010 by rebel Barbers. However, through this photograph, we are able to glimpse into its former glory and appreciate its historical significance. Photographer CM Dixon has expertly captured both the beauty and historical importance of this architectural gem. His lens immortalizes Aberahman III's legacy for future generations to admire.
