The Moorish South

In the first of this new series about Spain's exciting and vital art, Andrew Graham-Dixon travels to the Moorish south. For 700 years, most of Spain was an Islamic state, and the south was its beating heart. Under the Moors, Spain became the most advanced, wealthy and populous country in Europe. Graham-Dixon travels to Cordoba, Seville and Granada, visiting beautiful Moorish palaces and mosques, telling the story of one of the most colourful and sophisticated cultures to ever appear in Europe.
