The Ayyubid Era. Art and Architecture in Medieval Syria
This new MWNF Travel Book was conceived not long before the war started. All texts refer to the pre-war situation and are our expression of hope that Syria, a land that witnessed the evolution of civilisation since the beginnings of human history, may soon become a place of peace and the driving force behind a new and peaceful beginning for the entire region.

Mudéjar Art. Islamic Aesthetics in Christian Art
MUDÉJAR ART: Islamic Aesthetics in Christian Art reveals the fascinating exuberance of a unique cultural and artistic symbiosis that characterises Christian Spain after the Reconquista. The Mudéjars were Muslims allowed to stay in the reconquered territories. Their artists and artisans strongly influenced the culture and art of the new Christian kingdoms. In Aragon, Castille, Extremadura and Andalucía sumptuously decorated brick churches, monasteries and palaces illustrate perfectly the creative endurance of Islamic forms in Christian art between the 11th and 16th centuries in Spain. Thirteen Itineraries invite you to discover 124 museums, monuments and sites in Madrid, Guadalajara, Saragossa, Tordesillas, Toledo, Guadalupe and Seville (among others). With Index of Locations.
El Arte Sículo-Normando. La cultura islámica en la Sicilia medieval
La cultura islámica en la Sicilia medieval ilustra cómo el gran patrimonio artístico y cultural de los árabes, que gobernaron la isla en los siglos X y XI, fue asimilado y reinterpretado durante el posterior reinado normando, y alcanzó su apogeo en la era resplandeciente de Ruggero II, en el siglo XII. Los espectaculares paisajes costeros y de montaña proporcionan el telón de fondo para las visitas a las ciudades, los castillos, jardines, iglesias y antiguas mezquitas cristianizadas. Diez recorridos le invitan a descubrir 91 museos, monumentos y yacimientos en Palermo, Monreale, Mazara del Vallo, Salemi, Segesta, Erice, Cefalú y Catania, entre otras localidades.
