3HISTORICAL SPOTLIGHT
Joan de Arteche (née Vizcaíno)
October 18, 1631 – February 15, 1720
Biography: A deeply spiritual Maliki woman, Joan Vizcaíno lived a simple life. The only major change she experienced was moving from her birthplace of Rabat, Morocco to Seville, Spain, where she met her husband, Pedro de Arteche. A traditionalist, Joan’s greatest joy was taking care of her small family and baking for the less fortunate in her community. Despite her family’s status as Moriscos, a key reason for the conversion of her son, Luis, following his courtship of Jeanne Joliet, a Roman Catholic, Joan was beloved for her generosity and benevolence. She was rarely seen without an apron tied at her waist and a hand extended in giving.
Genealogical Notes: Married Pedro de Arteche on September 27, 1658. Mother of Luis de Arteche. Grandmother of Juan Carlos de Arteche.

Amelinda’s Comments: “Walk through the Siq with me. This dramatic entryway nearly dulls the senses to the magnificence just past the high walls. At the end of this nearly mile long walkway, you will be greeted by Al-Khazneh, otherwise known as ‘The Treasury’.

While only related through marriage, this has caused quite a bit of fighting through generations about property ownership and rights. You are lucky to be a blood relative.”
