<P> The Moorish Kingdom of Granada continued for three more centuries in southern Iberia . On 2 January 1492 , the leader of the last Muslim stronghold in Granada surrendered to the armies of a recently united Christian Spain ( after the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragón and Isabella I of Castile , the `` Catholic Monarchs '' ) . The Moorish inhabitants received no military aid or rescue from other Muslim nations . The remaining Jews were also forced to leave Spain , convert to Roman Catholic Christianity , or be killed for refusing to do so . In 1480 , to exert social and religious control , Isabella and Ferdinand agreed to allow the Inquisition in Spain . The Muslim population of Granada rebelled in 1499 . The revolt lasted until early 1501 , giving the Castilian authorities an excuse to void the terms of the Treaty of Granada ( 1491 ) . In 1501 , Castilian authorities delivered an ultimatum to the Muslims of Granada : they could either convert to Christianity or be expelled . </P>
