As part of the Andalusí Experience project, we have conducted exhaustive historical research focused on analyzing and documenting the Andalusí legacy in the Calatayud region. This work has been based on the compilation and study of historical sources, both documentary and archaeological, in order to reconstruct the Andalusí presence in the region and its evolution over the centuries with scientific rigor.
The research delves into the origins of Calatayud as one of the oldest Arab medinas on the Iberian Peninsula, founded around the 8th century, and analyzes its strategic role as a political, military, and economic center within Al-Andalus. The analysis has been completed with a review of archaeological findings, numismatic evidence, and the contextualized interpretation of literary sources and toponymy.
This research represents a significant contribution to regional and national historical knowledge, helping to highlight the cultural, heritage, and social importance of the Andalusian past in Aragon. The results obtained allow for a deeper understanding of the historical process of the region and reinforce the value of this heritage as a reference point for identity and a source of historical study.
