Reconquista

Shelf by nono umasy
The Reconquista, a pivotal period in medieval Iberian history, spanned nearly eight centuries, from the 8th to the 15th century. It was marked by a series of Christian campaigns to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. This protracted struggle saw the rise and fall of various kingdoms, including Castile, Aragon, and Portugal, as they gradually pushed back the Moors. The Reconquista not only shaped the cultural and religious landscape of the region but also had a lasting impact on European history, culminating in the formation of modern-day Spain and Portugal. Understanding its complexities and enduring legacy is crucial for appreciating the rich tapestry of the Iberian Peninsula's history.
