00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:23,300
century the Visigoths came to an end with the muslims invasion. In 711 muslims defeated

2
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:30,980
Visigoths in the battle of Guadalete and occupied all the territory. They called it Al-Andalus and

3
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:40,420
they made Cordoba the capital city. The Visigoths had a king like Don Rodrigo or Leo Vigildo

4
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,640
but muslims had an emir that was controlled by the caliph of Damascus.

5
00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:13,209
Later, in 756, the Muslims have conquered white territories and they proclaimed the independence.

6
00:01:13,829 --> 00:01:15,530
They didn't need a caliph anymore.

7
00:01:16,069 --> 00:01:23,510
The first independent emir of Al-Andalus was Abd al-Rahman I, who ordained to build the Mosque of Córdoba.

8
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:28,370
In the 10th century, the Caliphate of Córdoba was established.

9
00:01:28,969 --> 00:01:32,109
It was ruled by Caliph Abd al-Rahman III.

10
00:01:32,109 --> 00:01:35,950
It was a time of great cultural growth.

11
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,799
But the end of the Caliphate of Al-Andalus is near.

12
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:56,060
It was divided into a small kingdom called Taifas.

13
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,859
The Taifa kingdom fought each other a lot.

14
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:15,860
But otherwise, the Christian Kingdom of the North took advantage of the division between the taifa to conquer the land for the muslims.

15
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:27,860
Finally, in the 30th century, the Christians defeated the muslims in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.

16
00:02:27,860 --> 00:02:34,060
They conquered all Al-Andalus except the Kingdom of Granada.
