Muslim Spain

Muslim Spain, known as Al-Andalus, refers to the period from 711 to 1492 when parts of the Iberian Peninsula were under Muslim rule. Following the Umayyad conquest, it became a center of cultural, scientific, and philosophical advancement, fostering a rich blend of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish influences. Major cities like Cordoba, Granada, and Seville thrived with architectural wonders such as the Alhambra. Al-Andalus was marked by significant achievements in mathematics, medicine, and literature. The Reconquista, a series of Christian campaigns, eventually led to the fall of Muslim rule, culminating in 1492 with the capture of Granada.
