- Abstract
Throughout the history of Islam, Muslims have made great contributions to Islamic culture and civilization by establishing cities in many conquered regions. The Fatimids, who were founded in Ifrîkiya in the IV. (X.) century, contributed to this cultural mosaic with the cities they established in the region. The city of Mahdiya, which was founded by the first Caliph Ubeydullah al-Mahdi, became an important center in the region with its palaces, houses, mosques and masjids, bazaars and markets, cisterns and cellars, inns and baths, harbor and shipyards. With its fortified structure, the city served as an important shelter against the Abu Yazid rebellion that broke out during the Caliph Qaim period and ensured the survival of the Fatimids. With the city of Mansuriya, which was established around Kayrewan during the reign of Caliph Mansûr, the Mahdi remained idle in time. The city of Mansuriya, with its round structure resembling Baghdād, made significant progress in a short time, especially its palaces and mosques, and became an important Islamic state capital. Especially during the reign of Caliph Moez, many important buildings were added to the city, contributing to its development and vitality. The city of Mansuriya, with its structural elements, became an exemplary model for the city of Cairo, which was declared the capital after its establishment in the Fatimid period. In this article, the development of the cities of Mahdiya and Mansuriya, which were established in the Fatimid period, is discussed. As far as we can determine, no study has been conducted on these two cities in our country. With the help of primary sources, our main aim has been to follow the progress of the cities of Mahdiya and Mansuriya from the moment they were founded, and to try to reveal their contribution to Islamic culture and civilization.
