Summary

The Museo Madinat al Zahra in Córdoba, designed by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano (1999-2008), exemplifies how architectural metaphor can enhance comprehension without literal explanation. The structure aligns with the concept of Medina Azahara, a lost Caliphate city, by embodying its historical and cultural essence through spatial design. This approach facilitates an intuitive understanding of the site's significance while preserving its heritage. The research focuses on the interplay between architecture and narrative, demonstrating how metaphorical design can bridge the gap between literal interpretation and conceptual appreciation in historical preservation.
