A cidade de Alcácer do Sal durante o emirato e o califado de Córdova

Abstract

In the current Portuguese territory few traces remain of the early days of islamization, however a careful analysis of the few existing evidences may reveal more about this little known period of the Iberian Peninsula’s western cities. Based on archaeological data, written Muslim and Christian sources, iconographic sources, the photographic register of the DGEMN and with recourse to architecture archeology, an attempt was made to roughly reconstruct what Alcácer do Sal may have been like during the Umayyad Period.
