MOORISH ARCHITECTURE IN...
Spain owes her special historical position in Europe very largely to her intensive encounter with the Orient. In the summer of 710, a small force under the command of a Berber named Tarîf ibn Mâlik landed to the west of Gibraltar. The Islamic armies that followed in its wake succeeded in conquering large areas of Spain within a short span of years. The conquerors gave the country the name of al-andalus. Thus began a period of cultural permeation that was to last for almost 800 years.
