The Moors were a historical group of Muslim peoples of North African origin, primarily Berbers and Arabs, who invaded and settled in the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) during the Middle Ages, particularly from the 8th to the 15th centuries. They are known for their significant contributions to science, architecture, agriculture, and culture during the period of Al-Andalus, the Muslim-ruled territories in Iberia. The Reconquista, a series of Christian campaigns, eventually led to the expulsion of the Moors from Spain by the late 15th century. The term "Moors" has also been used more broadly to refer to Muslims in Europe during that era.
