Raqada or Raqâda () is the site of the second capital of the dynasty of Aghlabids (9th century) located about ten kilometers southwest of Kairouan (also Qairawan; city in Tunisia). The site now houses the National Museum of Islamic Art. == History == In 876, the ninth Aghlabid emir Ibrahim II ibn Ahmad (875-902) felt the need to change residence to find a quiet place away from city noise. The new city is provided with several palaces and a mosque. The Aghlabids founded a factory of textile and paper to supply the House of Wisdom and Science ( Bayt al-Hikma ).At a time, Raqqada became even larger than Kairouan.〔 (Musée national d'art islamique de Raqqâda ) par Mohamed Rebai〕 In 909, Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi, founder of the dynasty of the Fatimids, who had moved to Kairouan, finally settled in Raqqada. He chose another capital and founded the town of Mahdia. He proclaimed himself as the Imam in 909.〔Charles Saint-Prot, ''Islam, l'avenir de la tradition : entre révolution et occidentalisation. Essai'', éd. Le Rocher, Paris, 2008, p. 195〕 The 7 July 969, the troops of the fourth Fatimid Caliph Al-Muizz Lideenillah entered Fustat in Egypt. The caliph founded a new city Cairo, which was now to be the capital. Raqqada was demolished after the construction of Cairo. After 1960, a presidential palace was built on a site of twenty acres, some remains of which are still visible, it houses since 1986 the National Museum of Islamic Art Raqqada.〔 (Caroline Gaultier-Kurhan, ''Le patrimoine culturel africain'', éd. Maisonneuve et Larose, Paris, 2001, p. 151 )〕 Excavation campaigns initiated in the early 1960s on the site of ancient palaces have yielded abundant fragments of pottery to glaze, including shards and tiles with a metallic sheen with floral and plant ( vine leaf stylized) and carefully decorated cuts (cutting the bird dating from the second half of the 9th century).〔Éric Delpont, ''Les Andalousies de Damas à Cordoue : exposition présentée à l'Institut du monde arabe du 28 novembre 2000 au 15 avril 2001'', éd.
