The Emirate of Granada, also known as the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, is an emirate established in 1238 following the defeat of Muhammad an-Nasir of the Almohad dynasty by an alliance of Christian kingdoms at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212.

After Prince Idris leaves Iberia to take the Almohad leadership, the ambitious Mohammed I ibn Nasr establishes the last Muslim dynasty on the Iberian peninsula - the Nasrids.

The Nasrid emirs are responsible for building the Alhambra palace complex.

Arabic is the official language and mother tongue of the majority of the population.
