Al-Andalus ‘The Moors in Spain’’

Al-Andalus, Arabic name given to the parts of the Iberian Peninsula governed by Arab Muslims between 711 – 1492. The vast Caliphate of Córdoba included the cities of Seville, Toledo, Lisbon, Zaragossa and Cordoba. Al-Andalus was a beacon of learning, and the city of Córdoba became one of the leading cultural and economic centres in both the Mediterranean basin and the Islamic world. In this presentation we will visit the cities of Cordoba, Seville, Granada, Lisbon and Istanbul and through my images will reveal the power, prosperity, scientific advances and artistic richness of the culture of the Al-Andalus Moors.
