The largest city in the west around 1000 AD, with an estimated population of 450,000, was Córdoba, located in present-day Spain. At that time, Córdoba was a major cultural, economic, and political center of the Islamic world, known for its advanced architecture, libraries, and schools. Its population and prominence were a result of the flourishing Moorish civilization in the Iberian Peninsula.
