Cordoba was the greatest cultural center in Europe eventually surpassing even Constantinople. At one time it had over 500,000 occupants, libraries (with thousands of volumes), paved and lighted streets, and baths. It was the destination of all the great philosophers, scientists, mathematicians and thinkers of the day.

What dynasty replaced the Umayyad?

It depends on which Umayyad Caliphate you are talking about. The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus from 660 C.E. to 750 C.E. was overthrown by a coup d'état led by the Abbassid Family. The Abbassids remained in power from 750 C.E. to 1258 C.E. but lost a significant amount of power by the year 1000 C.E. The Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba from 711 C.E. to 1038 C.E. ended when the final Caliph, Hisham III, died without any successors. The Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba splintered into over 30 different minor city-state kingdoms called Taifas.
