Answer:

Correct answer is C. It was home to the Great Mosque.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was home to the Great Mosque, because on the place where we today have a modern mosque we had a medieval mosque that was built in 13th or 14th Century.

A is not correct because there were many trading centers in that period, and as you can see Islam spread there a bit later.

B is not correct as it is site of UNESCO since 1988.

D is not correct as it was never his capital.
