The Moors were overthrown in 1492 with the fall of Granada, the last Moorish stronghold in Spain. This event marked the end of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Spanish defeated the Moors through a combination of military tactics, alliances with Christian kingdoms, and the gradual reconquest of territory through the period known as the Reconquista. The fall of Granada in 1492 marked the end of Moorish rule in Spain.
