al-Andalus

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Al-Andalus was a beautiful land in the Iberian Peninsula where Muslims lived for centuries, building cities filled with gardens, mosques, and libraries.

Al-Andalus was the name given by Muslims to the Iberian Peninsula after they entered it in 92 AH. Its cities, including Cordoba, Toledo, Seville, and Granada, became renowned for universities, libraries, and magnificent architecture, serving as a civilizational bridge that transmitted Arabic sciences, medicine, and philosophy to Europe.
