520 |a The Umayyad amirs and caliphs of al-Andalus had as their permanent residence a qaṣr or Alcázar within the madīna of Cordoba, opposite the main mosque. Very few remains are left of this palatial complex, which sources do not describe in too much detail. However, these sources consistently mention the existence of a cemetery within the walls of this Alcázar in which all Umayyad rulers were buried. This cemetery was called rawḍa. The existence of a "royal" mausoleum in Islamic lands from as early as the eighth/second century is extraordinary since there are not precedents in the Umayyad and ʿAbbāsid caliphates of this kind of funerary enclosures. Also, the name rawḍa begs some questions about the symbolism of this funerary enclosure that can be related to Qurʾānic references to Paradise, to parallels with the topography of the mosque of the Prophet in Medina, and, particularly, to the massacre of the oriental Umayyads by the ʿ Abbāsids.
