The Moors were the people of African descent and the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, controlled significant portions of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) from 711 C.E. to 1492 C.E. They established a rich and sophisticated culture, contributing significantly to advancements in science, art, architecture, and education.
Their rule included notable cities such as Córdoba, Seville, and Granada, where they built impressive structures like the Alhambra and the Great Mosque of Córdoba. The Moors' influence persisted until the Reconquista, which culminated in their expulsion in 1492.
