Until the 15th century Spain
was in many ways an unremarkable European country and for several centuries
been the object of conquest itself first by the Romans and then by the Moslem Moors
who both occupied much of the country for several hundred years.
But by the 15th century Spain
was a devoutly Christian and Catholic country and its monarchy then produced a
series of ambitious and powerful leaders. It was King and Queen Ferdinand and
Isabella who finally expelled the Moors in 1492, unleashed a bloody inquisition
and then funded the journey of the Italian Christopher Columbus to the New
World... a journey that was to change the fortunes of
Spain and the world forever.
The riches bestowed by the New
World would usher in a golden age for Spain not just making it the most
powerful nation in Europe but a global superpower. In this episode of Empire
Builders we explore ten sites that chart the rise of this crusading Catholic
empire.
