MARMOLEJO CANTOS, Francisco. Coín during the Andalusian period, the administrative and military center of the Algarbía malagueña. Med_on [online]. 2016, n.19, pp.1-37. ISSN 1646-740X.

Our contribution presents the evolution of an Andalusī Castle that eventually becomes a Madina, as Catholic Kings besiege the Granada Kingdom. It collects and translates Andalusī writings over the Malaga town of Coín, which administratively centralized Malaga western sector and preserved its territorial integrity in the Nasrid Period. This paper will trace its history from the 10th to the 15th century, since it was under the control of 'Umar ibn Hafsun until it was fortified as a frontier town by Abd al-Rahman III. Without falling into generalities, one will witness how the border moves back to the advancing Christian troops and how the Andalusī population retreats and focuses on the Kingdom of Granada.

Palavras-chave : Urban center; evolution; Coín; al-Andalus; 10th-15th centuries.
