malwa sultanate
the decline of the roman imperial power in the 5th century led to invasions of hispania baetica by germanic peoples, who were opposed by the byzantine empire. in visigothic spain, the byzantines took malaca and other cities on the southeastern coast and founded the new province of spania in 552. malaca became one of the principal cities of the short-lived byzantine '; it lasted until 624, when the byzantines were expelled from the peninsula. after the muslim conquest of spain (711–718), the city, then known as mālaqah (), was encircled by walls, next to which genoese and jewish merchants settled in their own quarters. in 1026 it became the capital of the taifa of málaga, an independent muslim kingdom ruled by the hammudid dynasty in the caliphate of córdoba, which existed for four distinct time-periods: from 1026 to 1057, from 1073 to 1090, from 1145 to 1153 and from 1229 to 1239, when it was finally conquered by the nasrid kingdom of granada.
