Religious built migrations and intersections: historical Portuguese investments in North Africa
1000
Correia, Jorge
In 1415, Portugal started a series of occupations in North Africa. This process extended until 1769 and also included new settlements. The act of consecration of the Main Mosque became one of the strongest symbols of the faith paradigm shift inherent to the change of sovereignty. With it, the most pragmatic aspects of the Portuguese occupation were applied: the immediate appropriation and transformation of religious buildings. Simultaneously, new solutions for Christian temples or convents were naturally produced in foundational investments such as Mazagão, but also in conquered cities such as Ceuta or Safi. This paper presents a syn-opsis, necessarily generic, of the Portuguese experience in the Maghreb, as far as religious architecture is concerned, carried out by (dis)continuities between Islamic, medieval and classic languages. It wishes to present a panorama of cultural migration and/or miscegenation, a process with deep historical roots and ex-changes between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
