First phase construction of Jeddah walls (1 Jan 1506 Jahr – 1 Jan 1507 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The ancient walls of the city had long since fallen into ruin and couldn’t provide anymore enough protection. To build the new city walls, entire sections of the city had to be torn down. By order of Hussien Al-Kurdi (Governor of Sultan Al-Ghori), all the male population of the city carried out compulsory this extenuating task.
