Granada History - Alhambra, Arab Conquest and Catholic Monarchs

Granada is named "Granata" by Noa and Heracles daughter, but it is recorded in the Jewish quarter of the history of Granada before the conquest of Arabic "Garnatas".

In 306, the first Elvira Council was held. Three groups (Elvira, Castilla and Garnatta) that existed during Muslim invasion were dependent on Cordoba caliphs

The Zirid dynasty influenced the development of Granada. And it expanded and reached the area near the Daro river.

By the end of 1237, the invasion of the Arab ended the Cyrid dynasty and the Constitution of the Kingdom of Granada which was the last Muslim fortress until 1492 was completed.

In the 14th century during the reign of Yusuf I and Muhammad V, Granada achieved its greatest glory. In the meantime, the Alhambra and Generalists have been built.

It has reached a new era in the glory of Granada history and Christian culture. During the reign of Charles V all the major Christian monuments corresponding to late Gothic and Renaissance buildings were built.

It will decline in the next few centuries and Granada will not recover until the arrival of Washintong Irving. In 1862 Granada of Queen Elizabeth II arrived and Granada prospered again.

You seem to have invested a lot of ink for persecution and forced to make Muslims Christianized in that area for a while. There seems to be no word talking about how Muslims (Moors) came to this area.

They are presumed not only to use a large amount of cash to buy real estate in the second half of the 7th century. So ... the question is what happens to indigenous Christians who lived on the land before Muslims arrived (Wojciech)

The Granada Cathedral is built in the city center, the Nasrid Grand Mosque in Granada. Its construction began in the Spanish Renaissance in the early 16th century and immediately after the Catholic monarch conquered Granada they left their work to Juan Gilde Hontañón and Enrique Egas. The cathedral was contemporary with the Alhambra Palace, the university, and the true Chancelillia (Supreme Court) Christian palace, as many magnificent buildings were built during the reign of Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire.

The fact that the Islamic Emirate of Granada was demoted to the Catholic monarch in 1492 was one of the most important events in the history of Granada, commemorating the completion of Andalus' Reconquista. Abandonment clauses specified in the Alhambra Act explicitly acknowledge that residents of the Muslim city (known as Mudejar) remain undisturbed by their beliefs and customs practices. But by 1499, Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros was disappointed with the slow pace of the efforts of Granada's first archbishop, Hernando de Taravela. The conversion of non-Christians to Christianity and the implementation of compulsory Christian baptism program created a shift to Muslim and Judaism courses. The new strategy of Cisneros violated the provisions of the Convention directly and caused the rebellion of Alpuhara (1568 - 71), the center of which is located in the rural area of ​​the Alpujarras in the southwestern part of the city.
