Show answer and explanation

✓ Córdoba

Córdoba was the capital of Al-Ándalus and one of the biggest cultural centres in Europe between the 10th and 11th centuries. People studied medicine, astronomy, philosophy and mathematics there, and its library was huge. Barcelona and Madrid were not important science centres then. Remember: Al-Ándalus and science equals Córdoba.
