Abstract

The city of Tarsuna is located in the Andalusian upper border area, and it is to the south of the city of Tatila and to the north of the city of Zaragoza. It was conquered by the Muslims in the year 94 AH / 712 AD by the leader Musa bin Naseer, and a number of Arabs and Berbers settled in it, and many families ruled it, including Bani Qasi al-Muwalladin and Bani Salama Altjibeen and Bani Hood. At the beginning, it was a seat for workers and leaders until the year 186 AH / 802 AD, when Prince Al-Hakam bin Hisham built the city of Tadila, so Tarsuna became one of its dependencies, but its military importance continued until it fell into the hands of the Christians in the year 513 AH / 1119 AD. The research focused on three axes, dealing with the axis The first is its location and its conquest, while the second axis dealt with the political and military history of the city and the events it witnessed, and the third axis focused on the intellectual movement in it and the contributions of some of its people in the various sciences.
