This cycle brings together a strategic selection of the most important cities in the history of Islam which, at some point, were the capital of an important medieval kingdom or empire. All of them will be presented by world specialists in their study, who will address both the history of the capital in question (its period of greatest apogee and urban expansion, offering an informative visual contribution that conveniently expresses its evolution and development) and a critical and current vision focused on the study and conservation of the vestiges of the cities that have survived to the present day (abandonment, despoilment, wars, real estate pressure, etc.).
In this last conference, we will count on the presence of the researcher Abdallah FiliProfessor at the Chouaib Doukkali University in El-Jadida (Morocco), who will speak on 15 November at 19:30h at the headquarters of the Fundación Tres Culturas about the Moroccan city of Fez.
Registration is required to attend the event here.
