Muslims first came to Europe in the early 8th century, following the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) by the Umayyad Caliphate in 711 AD. This marked the beginning of nearly eight centuries of Muslim presence and influence in parts of Europe, particularly in southern Spain, which became a center of culture, science, and trade under Muslim rule. Additionally, Muslims have been present in various parts of Europe through trade, migration, and conquest throughout history, with significant communities established in the Balkans and later in the Ottoman Empire.

How did ancient Muslim culture spread to Europe?

Even though Muslims did conquer Spain, the reason that Muslim culture spread to Europe was because Islam, was in a very good location for trade. They were surrounded by many bodies of water (for boats to come in and trade). They were also surrounded by three continents (for people to come in and trade by foot or caravan). People from Europe came in to trade and encountered many Muslims. These European traders came in touch with many things that Muslims did as part of their culture. They then decided on their own to convert. These caused the spread of Muslim culture to Europe!
