The cities of Andalucia were home to the academic heart of the Islamic empire from the 11th century onwards, though unlike in Egypt, where they became the centres of modern universities such as Al Azahar, they were mostly looted following the Reconquista, and their collections destroyed or dispersed.

The modern Spanish region of Andalucia incorporates most of the areas of historical Al-Andalus, and the modern urban centres are all key cities from this period, including [[Almeria]], [[Cadiz]], [[Cordoba]], [[Granada]], [[Jaen]], [[Malaga]] and [[Sevilla]]. However other major Moorish cities have since declined, such as Antequera, Baeza, Úbeda and others.
