Historiography and archaeological research have traditionally defined mosques mainly as religious spaces or places to pray, without further specifications. This simplification has usually dominated the analyses of mosques, while other uses or functional aspects of these buildings were put aside. The scarcity of material information available for years to approach these buildings, together with the dominance of the more monumental examples—such as the great mosque of Córdoba—provoked that analyses about other more modest mosques were scarce or almost inexistent. However, in recent decades, the proliferation of real estate building activities has led to the recovery of many new and fresh archaeological data related to other mosques different from the Friday ones. Specifically, in Córdoba, the volume of information recovered has been enormous, and concerns not only mosques as isolated buildings, but also their urban environments, construction processes, and evolution along the centuries. Therefore, in this paper, we offer a summarized overview of the state of the arts about research on mosques in al-Andalus, presenting the main problems and limitations of the topic until now, and also the case of Córdoba and the main results achieved there as a reference for further actions to be undertaken in the rest of the territory.

“…The commemoration inscribed is broken and reversed, but still holds a place worthy of commemorative inscriptions. Historical remembrance imbues the building, as Bloom (1993) argues that the Great Mosque was first constructed through memory, rather than building plans, which befits the cobbled-together nature of a mosque constructed from the spolia of the past. He argues, moreover, that the minaret was modelled after the Roman lighthouse standing at nearby Salakta (ancient Sullecthum).…”

Value and significance in archaeology

The concept of value increasingly fills archaeological debates. An examination of how value works within the diverse practices of archaeology (reconstructions of the past, heritage management and self-reflexive critique) provides an integrating factor to these debates. Through a genealogy of value in the management of material heritage, I highlight how 'significance' has been institutionalized from contingent forms, and the 'the past' rendered an object. Moreover, I follow the translation of these management procedures from the national to the global stage to highlight the emergence of economic significance in international heritage management. Providing an alternative approach to significance, the anthropological work of Weiner and Graeber locates value within practices that manage material heritage. These theories provocatively suggest that archaeological practice and heritage management are one and the same, both capable of producing value. This requires archaeologists to reconsider their discipline, and the contemporary contexts and situated ethical conditions of their work.

“…Sin embargo es también importante la observación que hace el autor: «era difícil, imposible más bien, que se realizase una perfecta simbiosis entre la arquitectura cisterciense de piedra, importada de Francia, y la almohade de ladrillo, argamasa y yeso». 29 28. L. En este periodo tenemos constancia por primera vez del uso de bóvedas de arcos entrecruzados en edificios no religiosos.…”

“…Las bóvedas más interesantes aparecen en la zona sureste, fuera de lo que parece la planta rectangular original de la mezquita. 29 Schroeder considera que esta parte de la mezquita pudo ser un edificio aislado anterior, probablemente una biblioteca, pero que las bóvedas serán selyúcias, o incluso posteriores. Más concretamente data las bóvedas nº 47, 48, 60 y 61 a finales del siglo XII.…”

En primer lugar tengo que agradecer al profesor Santiago Huerta su implicación y su infinita paciencia con mis preguntas, dudas y altibajos. Sin su trabajo y su apoyo no habría sido posible escribir esta tesis. Mi más sincera gratitud.El tribunal de mi prelectura, formado por los profesores José Luis de Miguel, José Miguel Ávila y Joaquín Antuña, leyó pacientemente mi tesis y me escucharon y aconsejaron con gran dedicación.El profesor Gabriel Ruiz Cabrero y el Cabildo de la catedral de Córdoba me facilitaron el acceso a la catedral, y me enseñaron partes del edificio que no son normalmente accesibles. El personal de mantenimiento de la catedral fue siempre amable y servicial.Javier Contreras que me permitió el acceso a la Capilla de Belén en el Convento de Santa Fe.La profesora Ana López me enseñó las técnicas de levantamiento y el manejo de la estación total y ha estado disponible siempre que lo he necesitado.Tengo que hacer un agradecimiento muy especial a la profesora Rosana Guerra. Me ha ayudado en innumerables ocasiones. Ha respondido siempre a mis preguntas, y ha compartido conmigo su trabajo y conocimiento sobre levantamientos y representación gráfica. Pero sobre todo, siempre me ha dado ánimos, muy necesarios en esos momentos.El profesor Antonio Ruiz me ha acompañado en las numerosas visitas a San Millán y a la Vera Cruz y ha estado siempre disponible para contestar a mis preguntas.
