Spain

Spain is a key site when it comes to studying both the arrival of the first hominids recorded in Europe, and the prehistoric stage of this continent. Under the Roman Empire, Hispania flourished and became one of the empire’s most important regions. Later, nearly the entire peninsula came under Muslim rulers. Córdoba, the capital of the caliphate, was the largest, richest and most sophisticated city of medieval Europe. Through a long process of Christian kingdoms in the north gradually rolled back Muslim rule, which was finally extinguished in 1492. That year Columbus reached the Americas, the beginnings of a global empire. Spain became the strongest kingdom in Europe in the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries but continued wars and other problems eventually led to a diminished status. Spain is known for its culturally diverse heritage, having been influenced by many nations and peoples throughout its history.
