IIS: Students Visit Spain as Part of their Course


Students from the Class of 2010 of STEP and GPISH traveled to Spain for an educational visit in February and March, respectively. As part of their courses “Architecture of the Muslim World” (GPISH) and “Religious Education and the Humanities in Secondary Education” (STEP), the two groups visited some of the most notable sites of Granada, Cordoba and Malaga.


In Granada, the students visited the quarter of Albaycin, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. This was followed by a visit to the historic Alhambra Palace, built in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Sultans of the Nasrid dynasty, the last Muslim rulers of Al-Andalus.


Students then traveled north to Cordoba, visiting the Great Mosque of Cordoba; the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba. Further visits also included the momentous Madinat al-Zahra, founded by ‘Abd al-Rahman III, shortly after the proclamation of the Umayyad caliphate in Al-Andalus.
