The Islamic Madrid

Rating:

4,0

+ 13

Madrid is the only western capital founded by Muslims. Emir Mohamed I erected the first building, a fortress from which to defend Toledo. That 'alcázar' (al-qasr), where today stands the Royal Palace, was the origin of Mayrit, the Arabic name from which Madrid was derived. The vestiges of the first wall, the layout of the old medina, the minarets that remain, the water pipes... A surprising discovery.
