Portugal celebrates Islamic art, past and present, with Aga Khan Awards
2013
Overview
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2013 was held in September in the Portuguese capital. Although Portugal was not among the prize winners, nor even represented on the jury, the Architectural Award assumed the importance of a national celebration of Islamic art, past and present. The award ceremony took place in Lisbon's Sao Jorge Castle, with its Moorish fortifications, in the presence of the president and foreign minister of Portugal, the mayor of Lisbon, leaders of Lisbon's Sunni and Ismaili communities, and the Aga Khan. Simultaneously, the City of Lisbon inaugurated an exhibit on \"Architecture: the Islamic Heritage in Portugal\" in Sao Jorge's main exhibition hall, with the cooperation of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The exhibit features recent excavations of art produced during the Muslim rule in Portugal from 711-1245, and will be open to the public until Jan 6, 2014.
