Morocco retakes Zalaqa from al-Andalus
Al-Andalus celebrated the decisive Battle of Zallaqa (Zalaca), which took place in 1086, marking the victory of the Almoravid forces led by Yusuf ibn Tashfin over the Castilian army commanded by Alfonso VI. This victory halted the Christian expansion into the Iberian Peninsula and shifted the balance of power between Muslims and Christians in the region. The battle resulted from the weakness of the Taifa kings and the unification of Muslims to face the threat. The Almoravids employed advanced military tactics, such as massive drums and the intervention of elite troops, leading to a severe defeat for the invaders and leaving a significant mark in the history of Morocco and Andalusia, while strengthening Islamic control over large parts of the region.
