The Fall of Al-Andalus: Why a Golden Age Collapsed?

The Fall of Al-Andalus: Why a Golden Age Collapsed For nearly 800 years, Muslim Spain—known as Al-Andalus—was one of the most advanced civilizations in Europe. From the magnificent Great Mosque of Córdoba to the stunning Alhambra of Granada, Al-Andalus became a golden age of learning, science, art, and architecture while the rest of Europe struggled through the Dark Ages. But how did this jewel of civilization fade? Why did the Caliphate of Córdoba, once the most powerful state in Western Europe, shatter into dozens of fragile Taifa kingdoms? And how did the Reconquista, led by the Christian kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Leon, ultimately bring about the fall of Granada in 1492?
