Emirate of Cordoba (Age of Charlemagne) Munya Level 2

Munya

The perfect space for the enjoyment of art and literature.

Though the majority of the Islamic buildings in Al-Andalus have not survived, excavation and written evidence from the period have allowed us to construct a picture of villas - or 'munya' - and their function. Many were built atop old Roman sites - indeed, the Medina Azahara (one of the only surviving, if grand, examples of the munya) was built on the path of an old Roman aqueduct, which was harnessed to provide the palatial building with constant running water. The theme of water was prevalent throughout the entire ideology of Islamic villas - both as a pragmatic source for baths, and also decoratively in order to create extravagant gardens with flourishing foliage and splendid water features. Many munya were built around a central courtyard, containing monuments and features, whilst the surrounding grounds were dedicated to the gardens and monumental pools. Needless to say, these villas were resorts for noblemen and royalty when they required a lavish getaway beyond the city walls.
