Join the History of Art Research Seminar Series for an intriguing lecture on "A Woman's Space: Architecture of the Mughal Harem," chaired by Yashaswini Chandra. The seminar will shed light on the physical space occupied by elite women during the Mughal era, specifically the zenana. These female residential areas were highly inaccessible, making it challenging for scholars to study them. However, surviving material culture and historical references allow for a deeper understanding of these spaces. Dr. Mehreen Chida-Razvi, an esteemed Art Historian specializing in Mughal South Asia, will explore the boundaries, creation, planning, and use of the zenana through the examination of Mughal palace complexes and beautifully rendered images. Dr. Chida-Razvi's research encompasses various aspects of Mughal and Persianate art and architecture, with a particular focus on the reign of Emperor Jahangir. She has published extensively and is currently contributing to edited volumes on Mughal art, culture, and gardens. In addition to her academic pursuits, Dr. Chida-Razvi also shares her expertise with wider audiences through participation in documentaries, radio programs, and lectures. This hybrid lecture offers both in-person and online attendance options, with further details provided upon booking. Join us for a thought-provoking seminar followed by a drinks reception in the Higgitt Gallery. For any access requirements, please contact eca.events@ed.ac.uk.

Historical Background
● Construction period: Edinburgh Castle was built in the 6th century AD and is one of the oldest fortresses in Europe.
● Royal residence and military fortress: From 1070, the castle became the Royal Castle of Scotland, and from the 17th century it became a military base.
● Important events: The castle has experienced many sieges and wars. Although some buildings were destroyed in the war, the overall structure still stands.
Architectural Features
● Architectural style: It combines medieval stone fortifications and Victorian additions, showing architectural styles from various historical periods.

● Argyll Battery: Once used for defense, now it is a viewing platform overlooking the entire city of Edinburgh.
● Scottish National War Memorial: Displays items and letters of Scottish soldiers who died in World War II and other wars.

The scenery is nice, but no photography is allowed inside. The ticket comes with a Chinese explanation, which is quite interesting. It mainly talks about the use of the Scottish royal family from King David of Scotland in the 12th century to James VI in the 17th century, and the assassination room of Mary of Scotland and her husband Darnley.

It is a must-visit place in Edinburgh. On the hill, there are lots of good spots to get a good view of the city. Old Town, New Town, Arthur&#39;s Seat, and the sea are all visible there.
