Taifa of Badajoz (Age of Charlemagne) City Level 2

Small Medina

The old town is a maze, beautiful and labyrinthine in its complexity.

The medina quarter was generally the oldest part of Arabian and Muslim cities. In modern Arabic, 'medina' simply means 'city' whilst historically, the city of Medina is the second most important and sacred city in the Islamic world, after Mecca. Medina quarters were high-walled and maze-like in their construction, with many narrow and winding streets that, whilst creating a maddening and difficult-to-navigate labyrinth of an urban centre, also made them very defensible and infuriating for invaders to navigate. The medina quarter was always booming, with administrative buildings, gardens, banks and shops all vying for space amongst the hustle and bustle. Such was the case in the Medina Azahara, outside Cordoba, which was the Umayyad Emirs' capital. Although it didn't typify the standard medina - it was much more palatial - it nevertheless demonstrated that they were hubs of activity and the beating hearts of Muslim cities in the Middle Ages.
