Almohad Ishbiliyya, 1200
This is Seville at the height of Almohad rule: the city's great mosque now wears its new minaret and the river is guarded by a new watch-tower. The walk follows quays, gates, market lanes, the Alcázar gardens and the everyday quarters where potters, shipmen and cloth merchants move through orange-scented air.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Seville as it stood in 1200 (“Almohad Caliphate”).
