Judaization of Andalusia. Falsifying ancient history for modern ideological ends

The following article addresses the historical misrepresentation of the memory of al-Andalus in terms of its architectural and urban legacy. In many Spanish towns and cities, we are witnessing a partial and self-interested rewriting of the Andalusian legacy in an attempt to grant a prominence, which it did not have as such, to one of the so-called ‘three cultures’, in detriment of the other two.
