7. Moorish Influences in Art, Architecture and Language in Modern-Day Spain and the Modern World Muslim reign over the Iberian Peninsula lasted for almost 800 years. It was over the course of these 800 years that Muslims incorporated parts of their Arab Muslim culture into that of the Peninsula and its inhabitants, especially in Southern Spain where the Muslim rulers centered their power. Muslim culture in Spain was not limited to Arab influences, on the contrary, from the point of their establishment in Spain, Muslims sought to differentiate their culture from that of Arab and African Muslims. From there, Spain became the birthplace for many elements of Muslim culture that would continue to persist in Spain and even spread throughout other parts of the world. The Spanish Muslims became known as los moros and their unique cultural elements were seen through art, architecture, language, music, as well as the sciences and math, the first three of which will be the focus of this page.

Much of the artistic styling and architectural features of Roman rule are still visible in contemporary times, and underwent a revitalization during the Romanesque era of the Medieval ages, demonstrating the tremendous and lasting impact that the empire had on Spain.
