Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas (Burgos) (El monasterio de Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas – Burgos) is a monastery of Cistercian nuns located approximately 1.5 km west of the city of Burgos in Spain. The monastery is open to the public. Visits are administered not by the monastic community, but by the Spanish heritage organisation Patrimonio Nacional, which maintains the property as a Spanish royal site. on display is : The tapestry that covered the tent (not the last Arabian flag) of the Almohad caliph Al Nasir, known to the Christians as Miramamolin. This tapestry was seized by the victorious Christians at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa on July 16, 1212. When Sancho VII of Navarre's men drove through an enchained circle of African slaves guarding Miramamolin's tent, the caliph fled with great haste, leaving this tapestry along with several other prizes of war behind for the exultant Spanish. |
