Granada

Granada was the Nasrid emirate, the last independent Muslim state in Iberia, with its capital at Granada. In 1337 Yusuf I ruled as a tributary of Castile; the Marinids had retaken Gibraltar for Granada in 1333.

The Marinid and Granadan armies were defeated at Río Salado in 1340, and Algeciras fell in 1344. Under Muhammad V, the Alhambra gained the Palace of the Lions. Castile began the Granada War in 1482; after Málaga fell in 1487, Boabdil signed the Treaty of Granada in 1491 and surrendered the city in 1492.
