Talking about cultural heritage means discussing the material and immaterial
inheritance from the cultural past of a society, but from the present. In Europe,
all too often, the heritage is managed on an economic and ideological basis in
line with what sells (tourism) and what is written in the memory and ideology to
reinforce the bases of the Nation-State. In the Middle Ages, Islam as a civilisation
reached far beyond the Pyrenees, although for a relatively short period. However, it
consolidated itself in a good part of the Iberian Peninsula for at least four centuries.
From a critical point of view, and that of research, here the treatment the medieval
Islamic heritage has received in Catalonia is dealt with, while also seeking space for
debate to improve the understanding of this enormous cultural heritage that has too
often been forgotten or has been mythified.
