Summary The Moorish culture of 'Al-Andalus' (nearly all Iberia) was a staggering height in both European and Mediterranean culture, especially under the breakaway caliphate of Cordoba, a model of inter-cultural fertilization and religious tolerance for Christians and Jews. With its breakdown into petty Muslim kingdoms, the bloody stage was set for seven centuries of gradual reconquest by the Christian crusaders, who would wipe them out and chase all infidels, even converts, from the peninsula after the fall of Nasrid sultanate Granada, which created the Alhambra, yet couldn't part with all its rich legacy.
