moriscos
Sign in to savestoricamente, musulmani convertitisi al cattolicesimo in Spagna
Moriscos were former Muslims and their descendants in Spain who were forced to convert to Christianity or be exiled after the Catholic Church and Habsburg Spain banned Islam in the early 16th century. They matter historically because they represent a significant religious and cultural transformation imposed on Spain's large Muslim population during this period.

Col nome di moriscos (in spagnolo, da moro) e mouriscos (in portoghese) si indicano i discendenti dei musulmani di al-Andalus (mori) dopo che furono costretti a convertirsi al cristianesimo fra il 1492, anno del completamento della Reconquista, e furono sistematicamente espulsi dalla penisola iberica, principalmente nel 1609 durante l'espulsione dei moriscos, rifugiandosi in buona parte nel Maghreb.
