Where to see the last Arabian flag in Andalus (Spain) and history of Andalus in general
In which museum in Spain I can find the last flag of the Arabian armies that used to occupy Spain for 700 years (Andalus). All I find about it in the net is this photo which seems like a festival for Spanish victory in the last war with Arabs:
In which museum I can see this flag? Or any museum about the Andalus in general?
Best Answer
Right, after some investigation, there are a few museums in Spain related to Al-Andalus and that time period. Which one has the flag in, though, I'm not sure.
However, here are some useful links that may aid in your search:
Al-Andalus living museum – Calahorra Tower (Torre de Calahorra) - looks to be about your best bet. The museum is located in an old Moorish fortress, and recreates the time of maximum splendour in this Andalusian city. Its aim is to provide a recreation of the Cordoba of the period between the 9th-13th centuries, at a time of brilliant cultural, artistic and scientific achievement.
Another page about the Calahorra Tower, with a gallery. No sign of the flag though.
Al-Andalus Expert - this guy is a tour guide of the area, speaks Arabic, English and Spanish, and is probably the best bet for someone to answer where the flag might be.
