The Spanish reconquest of Moorish Spain is one of the most important elements in the history of the country. The Iberian Peninsula had been under foreign control for over 1400 years and each conquering civilization left a deep impact upon the political atmosphere and culture of the population. The reconquest represents the final consolidation of power over Spain by the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand and Isabel and also marked the beginning of a new era for the Spanish people. Following la reconquista, Spain would grow to become one of the largest and most powerful nations of the time. Spain’s empire grew to such an extent, that the sun was always shining in one corner of their lands.
