Therefore, many communities lived here. Especially, the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate was a very big chance for Spain.

Scholars such as Ibn Rüşt and Ibn Meymun taught European students. While, the Kings in Europe are proud of the several thousand volumes of books in their libraries bragged, 400 thousand volumes of books existed in the library of the Andalusian Caliphate. The destroyed Muslim and Jews with the Reconquista took also the richness and the civilization of Spain. By contrast, Spain has found something new: Geographical discoveries and gold.
