In 710, the Moors conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, which is modern-day Spain and Portugal. They built a powerful Muslim empire known as Al-Andalus that lasted for several centuries.
The Moors were expelled from Spain in 1492 after the completion of the Reconquista, a centuries-long period in which Christian kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula conquered and retook territory from Muslim rulers.
Some stereotypes associated with Moors include being seen as dark-skinned North Africans, Muslims, warriors, and exotic or mysterious.

It is important to note that stereotypes do not accurately depict the diverse experiences and identities of individuals who identify as Moors.
