History See also: Granada chronology arco / Puerta de Elvira in Granada Historic map of Granada Piri Reis Pre-Umayyad History Home article: Hispania Region, surrounding what today Granada was inhabited, at least since 5500 BC and experienced Roman and Western influences. The oldest ruins found in the city belong to an Iberian oppidum called Ilturir, in a region known as Basteania. This oppidum eventually changed its name to Iliberri, and after the Roman conquest of Iberia, to Municipium Florentinum Iliberitanum. Main article: Al-Andalus Conquest of Omeyada in Spain, starting in 711 AD, led to a large part of the Iberian Ġarnāṭah). The word Karnat (or Karnat) may mean mountain of strangers. As the city was on a low plain and, as a result, it was difficult to defend against attacks, the ruler decided to move his) ﻏﺮﻧﺎﻃﺔ Peninsula under the control of the Moorish and created al-Andalus. The historical name of Granada in Arabic was residence to a higher area of Garnata. According to Arab sources, Ihbira (Elvira) was destroyed during Fitna al-Andalus, after which it was not restored to its former place, and instead to Garnat, which was Jewish had previously replaced it as the main city. In a short time this city has been transformed into one of the most important cities of Al-Andalus. In the early 11th century, after the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Berber-based zavi bin Siri founded an independent kingdom, Taifa Granada. His surviving memoirs - the only ones for the Spanish Middle Ages - give significant details during this short period. The zirid of Taifa Granada was a Jewish state in everything but the name; The Muslim king is considered to be a largely symbolic figure. It was the center of Jewish culture and scholarships of Sefardi. Early Arab writers repeatedly called him Garnat al-Yahud (Granada of Jews)... Granada was in the eleventh century the center of the Sefardian civilization at the peak of its development, and from 1027 to 1066 Granada was a powerful Jewish state. Jews do not adhere to the status of a foreigner (dhimmi) typical of Islamic rule. Samuel ibn Nakrilla, recognized by Sefard Jews around the world as a quasi-political ha-Nagid (Prince), was king in everything but his name. As a vizier, he made politics and, much more unusually, led the army... It is said that the strengthening and strengthening of The Pride of Samuel was what allowed him, later, to survive as the last Islamic State in the Iberian Peninsula. All the greatest figures of Spanish-Jewish culture of the eleventh century are connected with Granada. Moses Ibn Ezra was from Granada; at the invitation of Judas, Ha-Levy spent several years there as a guest. The patrons and masters of Ibn Gabirol were the Jewish vizier of Granada, Samuel Ha-Nagid and his son Joseph. When Joseph took over after the death of his father, he found himself without his father's diplomacy, resulting in the 1066 massacre in Granada that ended the Golden Age of Jewish culture in Spain. By the end of the 11th century the city had spread through Darro to reach the hill of the future Alhambra, and included the Albaykan area (now a World Heritage Site). The Almoravids have ruled Granada since 1090 and the Almohad dynasty since 1166. Nasrid Dynasty - The Emirate of Granada Main articles: Nasrid Dynasty and the Emirate of Granada Sigil of the Nasrid dynasty, located in Palacio de Comares. In 1228, with the departure of Prince Almohad Idris al-Mamoun, who left Iberia to take over the leadership of Almohad, the ambitious Ibn al-Ahmar founded the last and longest ruling Muslim dynasty in the Iberian Peninsula, Nasrida. With the Reconquista in full swing after the conquest of Cordoba in 1236, the Nasrids joined Fernando III castile, officially becoming the Emirate of Granada in 1238. Most historians agree that Granada has been an influx of the Kingdom of Castile since this year, although this has often been interrupted by wars between the two states. Integrated into the European trade network, the kingdom's ports trade relations with the Genoese, but also with the Catalans, and to a lesser extent, with the Venetians, Florentines and Portuguese. It provided links to Muslim and Arab trade centres, especially gold from sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb, and exported silk and dried fruits produced in the area. Nasrids also supplied troops from the Emirate and mercenaries from North Africa to serve in Castile. Ibn Battuta, a well-known traveler and historian, visited the Kingdom of Granada in 1350. He described it as a powerful and self-sufficient kingdom in itself, although he was often involved in skirmishes with the Kingdom of Castile. In his diary, Ibn Battuta called Granada the metropolis of Andalusia and the bride of its cities. During the reign of the Moor, Granada was a city with adherents of many religions who lived in separate neighborhoods. During this Nasrid period, there were 137 Muslim mosques in Medina (the city of Granada). Modern history of the surrender of Granada by F. Padilla: Muhammad XII to Ferdinand and Isabella (circa 1882). On January 2, 1492, the last Muslim ruler in Iberia, Emir Muhammad XII, known as Boabdil to the Spaniards, surrendered full control of the Emirate of Granada to the Catholic monarchs (Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile), after the last episode of the Granada War.
