The document discusses the Middle Ages in Spain after the fall of the Roman Empire. It describes how the Visigoths came to Spain in the 5th century but were later defeated by the Muslims in 711, who then conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula except for a small northern territory called Asturias. For over 700 years, the Visigoths and Muslims fought for control. Society was divided among Muslims, Christians, and Jews who lived in walled cities and towns and engaged in commerce at outdoor markets. Each religious group had their own houses of worship. The legacy of this period of Islamic rule in Spain, known as al-Andalus, included advances in medicine, astronomy, mathematics and technology.
