Important commercial center during the first
Umayyad Caliphate 8th CE.... (Europe in the Dark Ages). Astride two, crossing trade
routes. Once supplanted by the Abbasid Caliphate 10th CE, Umayyad’s recreated
themselves as a western caliphate in Iberia, Cordoba as its center...Mosque
there , built over by a Cathedral centuries later, is from that period.
Succeeded by two waves of Moroccan Berber (yet Muslim) invaders. Finally, the
Reconquista cleared all Muslim influence from Iberia.
Been to Cordoba, and now Ajar, but only just
now...arranging this photo gallery... "connecting the dots"......
with Google's assistance, of course.
