| | The Moors ruled Seville until 1248 (when the Christians captured it during the Reconquest) and left a lasting imprint. | | | Long before the Christian Spain of Ferdinand V and Christopher Columbus we read about in history books, this area was an active Muslim community. | | | In 1492, he and Queen Isabella financed Christopher Columbus to "sail the ocean blue." For those interested in the scope of Spain's influence, the Archivo de Indias (begun in 1785 in what was originally a stock exchange building in the Barrio) holds fascinating archives documenting Spain's exploration and conquest of the New World. |
