A very special visit to the only European capital of Islamic origin. Origin that goes back to the Middle Ages and of which we can see some archaeological remains that give us a more exact idea of how those beginnings were. A journey back in time to the middle of the 9th century.
We will talk about how the population lived at that time, their beliefs, routines, trades and other aspects that we know thanks to archeology. And all this explained by professional archaeologists.
An excellent opportunity to know the origins of Madrid.
