The Nasrid dynasty was the last Muslim dynasty in Spain, ruling from 1238 to 1492. It was established by Muhammad I in the region of Granada and is known for its remarkable contributions to art, architecture, and culture during the period of the Reconquista. The dynasty's most famous architectural achievement is the Alhambra, a stunning palace and fortress complex that showcases intricate Islamic art and design. The Nasrid dynasty faced constant pressure from the Christian kingdoms of Spain, particularly from the Crown of Castile. Despite this, they managed to maintain their independence for over two centuries through diplomacy and strategic alliances. The dynasty ultimately fell in 1492 when Granada was captured by the forces of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, marking the end of Muslim rule in Spain.
