    LA ALCAZABA DE FRAJANA', UN MODELO DE FORTIFICACIÓN ISLÁMICA EN EL SIGLO XIX Antonio Bravo Nieto Aunque la fortificación militar es una de las ramas de la arquitectura más sujeta a las necesidades de innovación y cambio, en fortificación islámica no son extraños los ejemplos que se ciñen a tipologías arcaicas y sistemas de construcción tradicionales, a pesar de corresponder a cronologías muy avanzadas.

  • An Architectural Heritage with Strong Islamic Influence
    Fernando Branco Correia, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 640–653 SOUTHERN PORTUGAL – AN ARCHITECTURAL HERitaGE WITH STRONG ISLAMIC INFLUENCE FERnando BRANCO CORREIA CIDEHUS – Universidade de Évora, Portugal. ABSTRACT The western part of al-Andalus was a peripheral zone of the Islamic World, far from the area of the Gua- dalquivir River and the Mediterranean coast. But in this western area there are important architectural elements from the Islamic era. In addition to the reuse of defensive and civilian structures from Roman times, there were military building programmes on the coastlines, from the 9th century onwards, with the arrival of Norse raiders. Moreover, some chronicles refer, for the 10th and 11th centuries, to the con- struction of ‘qasaba’(s) (military enclosures) in some cities and the total reconstruction of city walls. Recent archaeological activity has made evident traces of small palaces, houses and city walls but there is also an architectural heritage visible relative to other buildings – such as mosques and even small ‘ribat’(s) along the coastline. Some techniques, like that of ‘rammed earth’, are known to have been common in the Almohad period. In general terms, one can identify several remnants of buildings – religious, civil and military – with different construction techniques and traditions, not only the reuse of older constructions but also the erection of new buildings. On the other hand, it is possible to find parallels to these buildings in such varied areas as other parts of the ancient al-Andalus, North Africa, Syria and even Samarra (Iraq). This area of the Iberian Peninsula, described in chronicles as Gharb al-Andalus, is a hybrid region, where different traditions converged, taking advantage of the legacy of previous periods, mixing that legacy with contributions from North Africa, different areas of the Mediterranean and even the Middle East.

  • La Alhambra in Granada, One of the Most Beautiful and Admired Monuments in the Wold
    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba. The Alhambra is one of the most serenely sensual and beautiful buildings in the world, a place where Moorish art and architecture reached their pinnacle. A masterpiece for you to admire, and it is in Granada, a city full of culture and history. Experience the beauty and admire this marvel of our architectural heritage. Let it touch your heart. Granada is the Alhambra and the gardens, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries, the old islamic district Albayzin where the sunset is famous in the world or the Sacromonte where the gypsies perform flamenco shows in the caves where they used to live...Granada is this and many more things. The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.

  • Viisitez L'alcazaba Avenida De Cervantes, 4 Málaga - 29016 - Tlf
    Ayuntamiento de Málaga Web del Ayuntamiento VIisitez l'Alcazaba Avenida de Cervantes, 4 Málaga - 29016 - Tlf. 951 92 60 10 L’alcazaba de Malaga est l’une des forteresses Descargar imagen conservées les plus importantes d’Espagne. Lors de la visite, il faut tenir compte du fait que ce monument comprend deux enceintes de remparts[1] et une entrée fortifiée. Commençons par l’enceinte extérieure, qui conserve encore aujourd’hui des éléments datant de la première époque de construction, notamment la muraille nord, où l’on peut observer des tours rectangulaires à peine saillantes, semblables à celles des forteresses typiques des califats. Les murailles orientale et méridionale sont parsemées de tours carrées saillantes, vides pour certaines, qui datent des réaménagements nasrides. L’enceinte supérieure conserve des tours ayant les mêmes caractéristiques califales et a été renforcée au XIVe siècle par la Torre del Homenaje (donjon), construite sur une autre tour plus petite du XIe siècle, par celles se trouvant à proximité de la mosquée, la torre de los Arcos et d’autres de moindres importances. Outre les deux enceintes intérieures, le système défensif était encore plus complexe étant donné que pour accéder à l’alcazaba depuis la ville, avant d’entrer dans l’enceinte inférieure, il fallait passer par les « fortifications d’accès », ainsi dénommées par Torres Balbás, qui correspondent à l’ensemble des murailles et des portes qui constituaient un premier obstacle pour ceux qui cherchaient à entrer par la force dans la forteresse. Les fortifications d’accès Elles ont été réalisées pendant la grande réforme de Badis, le roi Ziri de Grenade, quand il annexa Malaga à son taïfa en 1057.
