Notes
In a later period, the lighthouse tower of the Church of São Clemente was erected on top of the original foundation of the quadrilateral structure, built of limestone materials. The scale of each side of the tower is 4.20 metres, and its total height reaches 22.7 metres. The arrangement of the dabash stones at the base indicates ancient building traditions. In fact, this church, with its quadrilateral plan, its orientation, and the location of its tower, indicates the presence of a mosque that may have previously been part of the Islamic “Attic” city. The poet Abu Al-Hasan Ali Ibn Ismail Al-Toledi, who lived in the twelfth century, was from the city of Lulay.
