Al Andalus refers to the Muslim-ruled areas of the Iberian Peninsula between 711-1492 CE. It began with the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711 CE and lasted until the fall of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492 CE. During this period, the region was ruled as an emirate, caliphate, and independent taifa kingdoms before becoming the Nasrid Kingdom. The Caliphate of Cordoba in the 10th century represented the political and cultural height of Al-Andalus.
