El arte islaacute;mico en Cisjordania y Gaza explora un periacute;odo durante los reinados de las dinastiacute;as ayyubiacute;es; mamelucas y otomanas; en el cual llegaban a Palestina numerosos peregrinos y eruditos de todo el mundo musulmaacute;n. Las grandes dinastiacute;as encargaban obras maestras del arte y la arquitectura para los centros religiosos maacute;s importantes. Por atraer a los sabios maacute;s destacados; muchos centros gozaban de un prestigio considerable y promoviacute;an la difusioacute;n de un arte peculiar que sigue fascinando. Los monumentos y la arquitectura islaacute;mica de este Itinerario-Exposicioacute;n reflejan claramente las conexiones entre el mecenazgo dinaacute;stico; la actividad intelectual y la rica expresioacute;n de la devocioacute;n popular; arraigada en esta tierra durante siglos. Nueve recorridos le invitan a descubrir 70 museos; monumentos y yacimientos en Jerusaleacute;n; Jericoacute;; Nabluacute;s; Beleacute;n; Hebroacute;n y Gaza; entre otras localidades.became one of the most prestigious centres for learning in the Muslim world. The most eminent erudites came to teach in the al-Asqa Mosque; men of letters whose reputation spanned the whole of the Islamic world devoted themselves with passion to the art of debate; exegesis and rhetoric. Hundreds of madrasas were built in Jerusalem; Hebron; Nablus; Gaza and Zefat; the Haram al-Sharif alone may have accommodated up to 360 masters of different disciplines. These allowed for the decisive launch of Sufic philosophy; while; concurrently; promoting healthy economic activity galvanised by the continuous meetings of scholars and the faithful. Thousands of monumental tombs; mosques; zawiyas and caravanserais were built. To the enormous benefit of art history; these allocations; which; under the Ottoman Empire; were granted as far as Asia; Europe and Africa; have also guaranteed; in the long term; the upkeep and conservation of an impressive architectural heritage. It is thus that in this most modest geographic area; a sumptuous heritage transforms the country into an amazing architectural museum; where the entire panorama of Islamic styles is still present today.
