Game of Thrones and the World Cultural Heritage of Islamic Moore

The setting of Game of Thrones

the main scenes of Game of Thrones are mostly taken from Europe, but in order to highlight the exotic characteristics of the continental world outside the island, some of them were filmed outside Europe.

on the road to the Sahara Desert, A ï t-Ben-Haddou Qasr, which is listed as a World Heritage site, is part of the scenic spot of Yunkai (Yunkai) in the play, that is, the place where the dragon mother freed the slaves. It is said that Pentos (Pentos) also has some scenes filmed here.

because of the differences in the geographical environment between the north and the south of Morocco, A ï t-Ben-Haddou belongs to the southern clay architecture style, which is very different from that of the northern Mediterranean coast. After the 8th century, a large number of Berber tribes rising from southern Morocco went all the way north to the Mediterranean, then crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered Europe. In the middle and late Andalusian Islamic world, the Berbers were already absolutely dominant, while the Arabs had long been reduced to supporting roles.

A ï t-Ben-Haddou Qasr has a film and television base near it. Ouarzazate, can be regarded as the Ningxia Zhenbei Castle in Morocco.

not far from the castle is La Giralda, another World Heritage site left by North African Muslims in Andalusia.

it was originally the minaret of a mosque built by a Muslim architect in Ahmad Ben Baso, who worked in the Berber Kingdom. The whole tower is built with reference to the older minaret of the Koutoubia mosque in Morocco.

the "Little Devil" walks along the Volantis Bridge, that is, Cordoba's puente romero. Although its history can be traced back to Roman times, the bridge built by the Romans has been destroyed a long time ago, and the existing long bridge is actually the project of the Arabs. In 719 AD, Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani ordered the construction of a long bridge using some of the remaining piers of the Roman Bridge.

at one end of the long bridge, the church, the Grand Mosque of Cordoba, which has recently sparked a dispute over ownership, is listed as a World Heritage site and is the only one with the title of mosque and church at the same time.
