Abstract
Córdoba is, by far, the city of al-Andalus best represented in Arab sources. Its role as the capital of the Umayyad dynasty for almost three centuries explains why the attention and interest of the different authors focused on issues dealing with its history and its urban features. Coinciding with the end of the Umayyad government, the city began to play a secondary role compared to other cities, especially Seville, although its political and intellectual prestige remained in force until its conquest by King Ferdinand iii in 633/1236.
