Women were forbidden to have amorous relations with men of another religion, to have children with a man of another religion, or to breastfeed a child of another religion; they were forbidden to share meals, feasts, or duels.

The so-called minaret of S. Juan de los Caballeros (Cordoba) belonged to an small Umayyad mosque probably built in the early 9th c. al-Andalus. After the Christian conquest of the city (1236), the building was donated to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, transforming it into a church #medievalsky
