Spain, officially known as the Kingdom of Spain, is located on the continent of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Spain’s territory also includes the archipelagoes of the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands and several small islands in the Alboran Sea, making Spain Europe’s fourth largest country. Around 35,000 years ago, ancient Iberian, Greek, Celtic, Phoenician and Carthaginian settlements developed in Spain. Sometime in 200 BCE, Spain fell under Roman rule. As the rule of the Western Roman Empire ended, Germanic tribes then migrated to Spain, leading to the Visigoths. In 726 the Moors invaded, which later led to the Reconquista, lasting for over 750 years. Sometime between the 12th-13th centuries, the Spanish monarchy reclaimed Spain from the Moors under a new monarchy. In early modern times, Spain became the first global empire of the world, spreading their native language of Spanish across the globe. Spain is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
