Las Navas de Tolosa

Las Navas de Tolosa was a significant battle fought on July 16, 1212, during the Reconquista in medieval Spain. It marked a turning point in the conflict between Christian kingdoms and Muslim territories on the Iberian Peninsula. A coalition of Christian forces, including Castile, Aragon, and Navarre, faced the Almohad Caliphate's troops. The Christian victory weakened Muslim power in Spain and opened the path for further Christian advances. This battle is often seen as a symbol of unity among the Christian kingdoms and played a crucial role in the eventual Christian reconquest of Spain.
