The Reconquest era, also known as the Reconquista, refers to the period in the Iberian Peninsula during which Christian kingdoms sought to reclaim territory from Muslim rule. This era began in 711 with the initial Muslim conquest and lasted until 1492, when the Kingdom of Granada, the last Muslim stronghold, was defeated by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. The Reconquista significantly influenced the cultural, political, and social landscape of Spain and Portugal.
