Between the Crescent and the Cross: the Iberian Peninsula under Islamic rule
In this History Lovers Talk, we explore the centuries when much of the Iberian Peninsula formed part of the Islamic world known as Al-Andalus.
We will look at the conquest, daily life, and relations between Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities, as well as the transformations brought by the Christian advance and the formation of Portugal.
Our journey will include key cities such as Silves and Mértola, as well as Córdoba and Granada, highlighting their political, cultural, and historical significance until the end of Islamic rule in 1492.
Meeting Point : St Paul´s Anglican Church, Av. Bombeiros Voluntários, Estoril
