Main information

After the Battle of the Guadalete in the year 711, Muslims took over the Visigothic Hispania and the location of Pruna became an “alqueria”. A rural village belonging to the Emirate of Cordoba and then it was part of the Califato Omeya de Cordoba.

After the fall of the Califato de Cordoba, the Reinos de Taifas appeared. It was then that Pruna in Seville was integrated into the Taifa of Seville, which was conquered by the Castilian King Fernando III el Santo in 1248, becoming part of the Reino de Castilla.

In 1250 the sultan of the Taifa of Granada, Mohammed Abu Abdallad ben Yusuf, founder of the Nazari dynasty, conquered Pruna in Seville temporarily for the Kingdom of Granada. In 1256 the son and successor of Fernando III, Alfonso X the Wise, by the act of the Repartimiento of Seville orders to Gonzalo de Vicente, to give the locality to the military Order of Calatrava for the defense of the border with the Reino Nazari de Granada. They couldn’t succeed and the town was recovered by Muslims.

During centuries, as Pruna in Seville was placed on the border of the Muslim Kingdom, it changed occupation between Christians and Muslims many times. In 1407, Pruna finally became a Christian town.
