Barock & Rokoko (Bayern Süd)

Les Omeyyades

Pour brève qu'ait été leur hégémonie (moins de 90 ans), le rôle des califes omeyyades reste crucia ...

As early as the beginning of the eighth century, having just reached this extreme territory of the Maghreb, Moroccan Islam started to cast its eye to the other side of the Straits of Gibraltar and shortly after set foot on the Iberian Peninsula.
