The Islamic State


With the emergence of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula and its spread to the east and west, Islam reached Libya and liberated it from the Byzantine Romans in the five cities, expelling them from Tripoli and Sabratha.  
During the Islamic period, Libya witnessed the development of some ancient cities and the establishment of many new ones, including: Tripoli, Ajdabiya, Benghazi, Barca (Marj), Derna, Ghadames, Shrus, Awjila, Zawila, Ghat, and Murzuq.  
The Nafusa Mountains saw the construction of numerous castles during the Islamic period, spread across the area between Gharyan and Wazen. These castles number over 50, and among the most well-preserved are the Haj Castle, Nalut Castle, and Kabaw Castle.
