History & Context

The Kingdom of Spain - Reino de España Located at the crossroad between Europe and Africa, Spain has always been a target for invaders. From around 8000 to 3000 BC people from North Africa known as the Iberians crossed the Straight of Gibraltar and settled there. By 1000 BC Celtic tribes entered north Spain, while Phoenician merchants were establishing trading settlement along the Mediterranean coast. The Greeks and Carthaginians arrived around 600 and 500 BC followed by the Romans. By the year 409 AD Spain was invaded by Germanic tribes, among them the Christian Visigoths who established a kingdom that lasted until 711 when the Moors (Muslim and Arabs from North Africa) defeated Roderic, the Visigoth king. By 714 the Moors armies had occupied the entire peninsula, which domination lasted 800 years in some part of the region. During this period, arts and sciences prospered, news crops and agriculture techniques were introduced and palaces, mosques, schools and gardens were built.
