Abstract


This article considers a revised interpretation of the Ḥafṣūnid revolt in its material aspect, traditionally identified with a type of cave church which has ended in forming an artistic stereotype. Through a review of the ideas which have defined this monumental landscape and a reading of the scant archeological and documentary sources, the article attempts to show that the present interpretation does not satisfactorily explain what the construction of churches in the context of the fitna could represent.
