The Palace-City of Córdoba

flavor_gra.21

The Fitna of the 11th century plunged the Muslim part of Iberia into chaos, and with it went many significant sites. One of them was the Madīna az-Zahrā', a great palace that covered the western outskirts of Córdoba. Filled with extravagant mosques, rich gardens, and well-armed barracks, it served as a beacon of superiority for the Ḵalīfa over the rest of the Muslim world.

Target Character wishes to restore that City, placing himself/herself above other rulers and pretenders who may wish to challenge him/her.
