La Toma de Granada

La Toma de Granada refers to the capture of Granada, the last stronghold of Muslim rule in Spain, by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, in January 1492. This event marked the end of the Reconquista, a centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim control. The fall of Granada symbolized the unification of Spain under Christian rule and paved the way for Spanish exploration and colonization in the Americas. It also led to the forced conversion or expulsion of Muslim and Jewish populations from Spain, significantly impacting the country's cultural landscape.
