The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada was the last Muslim kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, existing from 1238 to 1492. It was established by the Nasrid dynasty and became a center of culture, art, and architecture, known for its stunning palaces and gardens, particularly the Alhambra. The kingdom thrived economically through trade and agriculture, benefiting from its strategic location. Granada's political landscape was marked by its relationships with neighboring Christian kingdoms, including Castile and Aragon. The kingdom faced constant pressure from these powers, ultimately falling to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, in 1492, marking the end of Muslim rule in Spain.
