Once, the Iberian Peninsula was a melting pot of cultures and faiths. People of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian backgrounds lived side by side under a reign of relative tolerance, where together they created a vibrant and sophisticated civilization. This was the time of al-Andalus, a period of great cultural and scientific flourishing. But it was also marked by political turmoil and conflicts between these different groups. Although it finally fell to to the Christian kingdoms of Iberia in the 15th Century, its legacy continues to shape the history and identity of Spain to this day.

Abd al-Rahman III was an Umayyad prince who reigned as Emir of Cordoba, and later Caliph of Cordoba, from 912 to 961 CE. His reign is remembered as a golden age of Muslim Spain and Umayyad rule, epitomized by his declaration of the second Umayyad Caliphate in 929 CE. He re-established one unified Muslim state in Spain and presided over the expansion of his capital at Cordoba as well as the founding of the impressive caliphal palace at Madinat al-Zahra.
