No era of European History was as remarkable or left as indelible a mark as Moorish Spain. The history, language, architecture, decorative arts, music, gastronomy, personality of the Iberian Peninsula owes so much to the civilization that occupied at least part of Spain for nearly 800 years. We shall follow the history of Moorish Spain from the invasion of 711 to the final surrender of Granada in 1492. We shall explore its architecture in particular the great cities, the Andalusian villages, the castles, palaces and mosques that remain to bear witness to one of the most advanced eras in Western History. We shall listen to the music, read the poetry, enjoy the architecture and, finally, assess the influence of Moorish Spain in the modern world.
