Second phase construction of Jeddah walls (1 ene 1509 año – 1 ene 1514 año)

Descripción:

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.
