Who ruled Spain until 1492?
The Moors ruled Spain until 1492. The Moors were Muslims who came from North Africa and conquered Spain in the early 8th century. They established a prosperous and advanced civilization in Spain, with major cities such as Córdoba, Seville, and Granada. The Moors were gradually reconquered by the Christian kingdoms of Spain during the Reconquista, which culminated in the conquest of Granada in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella.
