This series includes 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.).<\/p>\n
On this occasion, Dr. Patrice Cressier will speak about the city of Marrakech on 25 May at 19:30 at the headquarters of the Three Cultures Foundation.<\/p>\n
