Summary

This comprehensive study of the Mediterranean medina reveals its enduring architectural and urban significance, characterized by a stratified evolution of spaces, monuments, and functions. Through detailed historical and photographic research, along with case studies from cities like Cordoba, Fez, and Tunis, it demonstrates how these urban frameworks maintain legibility and cultural importance despite temporal changes. The analysis highlights the extraordinary cultural value of monumental complexes arranged in precise hierarchies, contributing to our understanding of Arab-Muslim architectural heritage.
