Some 540 years, from 711 AD until around 1250 AD. The Moors managed to hang on in some areas until 1492, but for those last 140 years they did no longer 'dominate' Spain.

Spain was conquered by the Moors
The reason that Spain contains roman aqueducts dates back to 200 BC, when the Roman Empire was expanding. They ruled Spain and they built their aqueduct system in their cities. Muslim mosques in Spain go back to 711 A.D., when the Moors and Berbers spread Islam, led by Tariq ibn-Ziyad. They conquered the territory and started to establish Muslim states in the land, pushing the Christians to the North. The territory was renamed Al-Andalus and many mosques were built as a result of the Muslim settlers. The Christians in the north slowly started to recover the land and, in 1492, the Muslims were pushed out of the land after they lost at Granada, establishing the Kingdom of Spain.
