Seville, the final Muslim stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula, surrendered to Castile.

In 1248, during the Siege of Seville, an important moment occurred in Spain's history. Seville, the last Muslim polity on the Iberian Peninsula, except for the Emirate of Granada, finally surrendered to Castile. Promising to turn over the city by the next month, the Muslims agreed to the terms of surrender. As a result, Ferdinand the Saint declared himself king of the newly formed Kingdom of Seville. This marked a significant turning point in the reconquest of Spain by Christian forces, as it allowed for further expansion into Muslim territories. The Siege of Seville showcased the growing power and influence of Castile and set the stage for the eventual unification of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella in the late 15th century. #Spain #SiegeofSeville #MuslimsInIberia #ReconquestofSpain
