Overview

Did you know that Madrid was originally founded by Mohammed I of Cordoba as a line of defence against Christian invaders to the north? While the citadel was eventually conquered by Alfonso VI in 1083, only the ruling classes and military of Al-Andaluz were forced to flee. Muslim citizens stayed on in a morería for centuries. Starting where the original fortress was built, this tour follows the fate of the city's Islamic community from when Madrid was part of Al-Andalus up until the forced conversions of 1502.
