Read the text carefully then do the activities
The battle of Granada was a siege of the city of Granada fought over a period of
months leading up to its surrender on January 2nd, 1492. The city was captured by the
combined forces of Aragon and Castile (recently united as Spain) from the armies of the
taifa Muslim kingdom of Granada. Granada's forces were led by Sultan Boabdil. This

s
relatively small campaign was of momentous consequences as Granada was the last

m
outpost of the Moorish rule in Spain and its fall brought to an end 780 years of Muslim
control in the Spanish peninsula.
Granada contains the beautiful Alhambra palace, a gem of Islamic architecture,

x
the loss of which is mourned in the Muslim world. The fall of Granada marked the final

/e
act in the Reconquista, the campaign by the medieval Christian states of Spain to drive
out the Moors. It was followed by the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims from Spain,

m
although some remained by converting to Christianity. Among these, some remained
co
secretly Muslim or Jewish (known as Moriscos and Morranos). Many, however genuine
their conversion, were subject to the suspicions and interrogations of the Spanish
Inquisition. In 1609, descendants of converts were
n

also expelled.
A society that had often seen Muslims Jews, and Christians interacting positively
had ended) The fall of Granada was a factor in the Spanish and Portuguese drive to
ti

acquire overseas colonies, influencing their attitudes of superiority towards the cultures
a

and religions they encountered in the New World, for which Christopher Columbus set
uc

sail later in the year of Granada's defeat. Rediscovery of the richness and positive
cultural exchange of the Moorish Spain before 1492, known in Spanish as convivencia,
ed

may provide clues on how contemporary multi-cultural societies can deal with the
challenges of pluralism and of peaceful co-existence.
