Description

A Discovery in Living Art tells the story of the exchanges between the furthest frontier of the Maghreb and Al-Andalus for more than five centuries. Political and social circumstances gave birth to a crossroad of cultures; techniques and artistic styles revealed by the splendour of Idrisid; Almoravid; Almohad and Marinid mosques; minarets and madrasas. The influence of Cordovan architecture and Andalusian decorative models; horseshoe arches; floral and geometric motifs and the use of stucco; wood and polychromatic tiles; display the continuous interchange that made Morocco one of the most brilliant homes of Islamic civilisation.Eight itineraries invite you to discover 89 museums; monuments and sites in Rabat; Meknès; Fez; Chefchaouen; Tétouan and Tangier (among others).
