In the terrace situated in the eastern part of the High Garden, was built a Mosque Alhama that was shared among the inhabitants of the Alcazar (Caliph and his family), and other inhabitants of the urban complex (we must think of all personnel who need the Caliph). The final date is changing, someone says that it was ended in 941 and others say that it was in 944 or 945, due to an inscription discovered. Nowadays only few rests remain of the Mosque because it was totally destroyed. It was oriented towards the Mecca (south east), with rectangular plan, a Court (Sahn), and a Prayer Room and the Alminar (Minaret). The court is with galleries, like the cordovan one, covered on the three sides except the front side, which is occupied by a porch-entrance. The court had a purple limestone floor. 
The oratory has a basilica plan, with five perpendicular naves to the Qibla Wall -emphasizing this to correct deviations in the Mosque Alhama of Córdoba; these naves are separated by arcades of 8 horseshoe archs. The floor of the Oratory (Haram) was covered with rugs, but not the Maqsura (this was an elevated platform from which the Caliph or Iman directed the pray). Of the Mihrab (it was a niche and the most decorated part) , nothing is conserved.
From the Rich Lounge, the Caliph could reach the oratory through a covered passage, the Sabat, it was situated in the oriental side of the high garden there was also a bridge of three archs but it is not conserved. It was built at the end of Abd al-Rahman’s III Period or at the beginning of al-Hakam II‘s Period.
In the northeast , linked to the main entrance ,there is the Minaret it had a squared plan (external) and eight sides (internal). Nearby there was a staircase that was linked to the tower , from which the Muezzin called the believers for the pray. Its location in the interior of the courtyard and moved to central axis of the left-rowed the gateway to Mihrab anticipates the minaret of the Mosque in Córdoba.
In front of the main façade there were few rooms called "House of the Alms" (Dar al-Sakada).
With the Mosque Alhama we have finished to explain the public part of Madinat al-Zahra. Now we are going to explain the private one. However, this division of functionality is not fulfilled in all cases because, as we shall see, the Pillars Court is a public or official one.
