Despite its Muslim past, the Archaeological Museum of Badajoz, (former Palace of the Dukes of Feria, located in the same Arab Citadel, home of the city), it has many Islamic art pieces on exhibit on the nearly four years when the city was Muslim (875-1230). It's something that draws much attention. And yet, among the pieces to exhibit highlights a veritable jewel, the beautiful headstone taifa the first king of the Kingdom of Badajoz, Sapur (1,022 AD), made of white marble and in Kufic script reads: 
"In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. This is the tomb of hajib (translated as Lord) Sapur, God is merciful. Died on Thursday night having spent ten nights of the year Sabán 413 (of the Hegira, corresponding to November 8, 1022 AD). Had testified that no God but God. "
