Under The Shadow Of The Crescent and The Cross (Manolo Galliano)

Erected as a Marinid mosque in the mid 14th Century and later converted into the Rock's principal church, the Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned has been a place of worshop for almost 700 years.

This book takes an in depth look at the history of this fascinating building, revisiting and analysing primary, archaeological and architectural evidence and consolidating a narrative of the life of this unique building. Also featuring strongly throughout are the often forgotten human aspects of the people who ran the church, defended it in times of need and ensured that we have inherited the archive of information that we have today.
