Last May we were visited by American journalist Jack Zahora and photographer Tara Todras-Whitehill, who were interested in learning about M\u00e9rtola’s Islamic past. This visit is recounted in the article published in the July issue of AramcoWorld Magazine, entitled ‘<\/span>Pieces of the Past: M\u00e9rtola, Portugal rediscovers its Islamic roots<\/i>‘. The article, which takes up several pages, describes the visit as follows: ‘<\/span>The southeastern Portuguese town of M\u00e9rtola, along the Guadiana River, showcases its Islamic heritage through well-preserved archaeological sites and museums. The town served as a significant cultural and commercial centre from the eighth to the 13<\/i>th<\/sup><\/i><\/span> century CE, a period of Islamic influence in the region<\/i>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an interesting way to showcase the research, appreciation and dissemination work that has been going on in M\u00e9rtola for over 40 years, and which is best expressed in the 14 sections of the Cl\u00e1udio Torres Museum of M\u00e9rtola. It should be noted that the cover of the July 2024 issue of AramcoWorld Magazine also features archaeological artefacts from the M\u00e9rtola Museum’s collection, which are kept in the reservation area.<\/p>\n
