Nasrid

The Nasrid refers to the ruling dynasty that governed the Emirate of Granada, the last Muslim kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, from the 13th to the 15th century. They were known for their sophisticated culture, impressive architecture like the Alhambra palace, and their efforts to maintain independence amid Christian reconquest. The Nasrid rulers played a key role in the history of medieval Spain, blending Islamic traditions with local influences. Their legacy is visible today in Granada’s historic sites, symbolizing a significant era of Moorish rule in medieval Europe.
