State law-wise, al-Andalus successively was a province of the Caliphate of the Umayyads or the Abbasids founded by Caliph Al-Walid I; these were followed by the Emirate of Córdoba, the Caliphate of Córdoba, and a group of Taifa kingdoms. In the first half of the 13th century large parts — except for the Emirate of Granada — were conquered by the Christian realms. During long periods, especially during the Caliphate of Córdoba, al-Andalus was a center of learning. Córdoba became a leading cultural and economic center of both the Mediterranean region and the Islamic world. The Almohads were a Muslim Moroccan Berber dynasty that ruled over wide parts of the Maghreb and al-Andalus. The Almohad dynasty was founded in 1121 by Ibn Tumart, who proselytized the Masmuda Berbers of the High Atlas for his creed. This creed regarded only the Qur’an and the Prophet Mohammed’s tradition as legitimate sources and rejected the continual updating of decisions by earlier authorities. Under Caliph Abu Yaqub Yusuf I the realm was further solidified and especially in al-Andalus protected against the reconquest attempts by the Christian kingdoms. The Almohads carried forward the architectural style for mosques laid out by the Abbasids. Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik succeeded his father Abd al-Malik. During his reign, Umayyad rule was further consolidated, relying on the proven governors of his father (including al-Hajjaj). Under al-Walid, the caliphate reached its greatest extent. The completion of the al-Aqsa Mosque also probably falls within his reign. This extensive building program imposed a heavy burden on the population. Merely the construction of the Umayyad Mosque is said to have consumed 5.6 million gold dinars. In al-Andalus almohad rule was not initially substantially shaken by the disastrous defeat of the young caliph in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa against the united Christian kingdoms, but was weakened in the long run and disappeared in the following decades.
