Document Summary

Final lecture: tying up loose ends, bringing it back to the first lecture. Art historians always playing 6 degrees of separation, with powers of deduction. Following on from the pattern of mosque and palace. The mosque of cordoba did have a palace however the difference was that the palace was next to the mosque as oppose to behind it what was regularly done. The city is located on the foothills overlooking the city terracing. We see the construction of these estates on the foothills still connected to the city but outside the city proper and taking advantage of the view. Retaining walls around the entire enclosure of the palace, intended to control access but not act defensively similar to samara. The 11century is a hue turning point in the islamic period because of the crusades, we will never see islamic palaces like this again and so well preserved, palace are then built fortified and in different designs.
