When Alfonso VI conquered Madrid in 1085, he allowed the Muslim population to stay in the city, with one proviso: that they move into a segregated suburb. The Morería had its own butcher, hamman, mosque and law courts. Here the "Mudéjars" lived in relative peace until a decree forcing them to convert to Christianity was issued in 1502.

On this tour we'll visit a tower created by Mudéjar artisans, the remains of the Christian city wall built by Mudéjar workers for Alfonso VI, as well as the Museo San Isidro to find out about important archaeological finds in the area.

We'll wind up with a drink and a chat.

This is the beta version of this tour, so I won't be asking for tips at the end, but will appreciate your feedback and questions!
