La Conquista de Valencia

La Conquista de Valencia refers to the military campaign led by the Christian King Jaume I of Aragon to capture the city of Valencia from Muslim rule in 1238. This conquest was part of the broader Reconquista, where Christian kingdoms sought to reclaim territory from Muslim control in the Iberian Peninsula. The capture of Valencia marked a significant expansion for the Kingdom of Aragon and was pivotal in the establishment of Christian dominance in the region. The event also established a multicultural society, blending Christian, Muslim, and Jewish influences that shaped Valencia's history and culture.
