Farhat Hussain at Moclin castle, Spain.

A very educational insight into different parts of the former Muslim castle of Moclin, north of Granada in Spain, that dates from the 13th century and commands spectacular views across the Andalusian countryside that this majestic castle once guarded over. Historian and field archaeologist Farhat Hussain provides viewers with valuable insight into this unique treasure of Nasrid Granada that most visitors to Spain and most people interested in al-Andalus/Moorish Spain are unaware of. Farhat Hussain has undertaken landscape survey of Moclin and the surrounding area for the past several years - his book on the subject will be released later in 2009. View this interesting film on military architecture of Muslim Spain and see and hear Farhat Hussain as king of the castle.
