In this video, we explore the rich history of Al-Andalus, the Islamic kingdom in medieval Spain that lasted over 700 years. A unique cultural crossroads, Al-Andalus was home to a dynamic blend of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish influences, which shaped its society, art, architecture, and science. We dive into the extraordinary achievements of the Moors, from the stunning Alhambra palace to their groundbreaking advancements in medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and agriculture.
