Ah, Spain!What makes Spain, Spain?

Spanish culture has its origins in the Iberian, Celtiberian, Latin, Visigoth, Roman Catholic, and

Islamic cultures.

Let’s take a look . . .

? 14

Iberian: the people living in the eastern and southern coasts of the Iberian peninsula

“Iberian” is a blanket term for a number of peoples belonging to a pre-Roman Iron Age culture . The Iberian language, like the rest of paleohispanic languages, became extinct by the 1st to 2nd centuries AD, after being gradually replaced by Latin. Iberian seems to be a language isolate. It is certainly not an Indo-European language.

? 14

Celtiberian Influence

• The Celtiberians were Celtic-speaking people of the Iberian Peninsula in the final centuries BC. The group originated when Celts migrated from Gaul and integrated with the local pre-Indo-European populations, in particular the Iberians.

• The cultural stronghold of Celtiberians was the northern area of the central meseta in the upper valleys of the Tagus and Douro east to the Iberus (Ebro) river, in the modern provinces of Soria, Guadalajara, Zaragoza and Teruel.

? 14

Latin Influence

• Spanish evolved from “daily use” Latin (not the stuff in books) introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by Romans during the Second Punic War around 210 BC.

• Architecture, such as this aqueduct, show Roman influence, too. Segovia,

Spain

? 14

Visigoth: one of two main branches of the Goths, an East Germanic tribe

• Of what remains of the Visigoths in Spain, there are several churches and an increasing number of archaeological finds. The Visigoths were the only people to establish new cities in western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire and before the rise of the Carolingians.

? 14

Roman Catholic Influence

• King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain formed an inquisition in 1480, originally to deal with distrusted converts from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism. Over a 350-year period, this Spanish Inquisition executed between 3,000 and 4,000 people, representing around two percent of those accused.

• Roman Catholicism has long been the main religion of Spain, though it no longer has official status. According to a July 2009 study by the Spanish Center of Sociological Research about 76% of Spaniards self-identify as Catholics.

? 14

Islamic Influence• The Islamic

civilization was one of the most advanced in the world during the Middle Ages, but was surpassed by Europe with the economic and military growth of the West. By 1492, Spain saw the last of the Moors, or Muslims.

• Islam is the religion articulated by the Qur’an, a religious book considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of the single incomparable God (Arabic: Allāh), and by the Prophet of Islam Muhammad's demonstrations and real-life examples. Islam literally means submission to God. An adherent of Islam is a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)".

Influence, Shimfluence!What about life in Spain?

Literature

El Cid - The legendary hero of the Re-conquista El Cid (1045-1099), also called El Cid Campeador, is the name commonly used for the important Castilian knight and hero, Rodrigo (or Ruy) Diaz de Vivar, who was born in Bivar (Vivar). He battled the Moriscos (Spanish for Moors or Muslims)

? 14

The Celestina is a book published anonymously by Fernando de Rojas, about whom we know little, in 1499. This book is considered to be one of the greatest in Spanish literature, and traditionally marks the end of medieval literature and the beginning of the literary renaissance in Spain.

? 14

Published by Miguel de Cervantes in two volumes a decade apart, Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the top of lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.

Of course, Spaniards read other books, too!

Art

? 14

Spain's greatest painters during the Golden age period included El Greco, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Diego Velázquez, and Francisco Goya, who became world-renowned artist between the period of the 1500s to 1800s. However, Spain's best known artist since the 1900s has been Pablo Picasso, who is known for abstract sculptures, drawings, graphics, and ceramics in addition to his paintings. Other leading artists include Salvador Dalí, Juan Gris, Joan Miró, and Antoni Tàpies.

The Museo del Prado is FULL of art by so many talented people. Among them are . . .
