Tulaytulah on the Tagus, 1080
This is Toledo in its last decades as a Moorish taifa, a compact fortress-city clinging to the granite loop of the Tagus. The walk follows river terraces, fortified gates, the great congregational mosque and small domed mosques, markets and workshops where blades and leather are made.
32 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Toledo as it stood in 1080 (“Toledo, Spain”).
