There were many leaders who helped defeat the Moors in Spain. The entire process took almost 700 years. However, the final defeat at the Battle of Grenada was accomplished by Queen Isabel of the Kingdom of Castilla and King Ferdinand of the Kingdom of Aragon. They were husband and wife and became the first rulers of a completely Moor free country that became Spain under their leadership.

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.
