Gibraltar's Islamic times past has started during with the arrival of Tariq ibn-Ziyad on April 711 at the start of the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. By tradition, Tariq was said to have landed on the shorelines of the Rock of Gibraltar, which was hereafter named after him. It was within this outline of rencounter of between said powers Marinids and the Nasrids (Morocco and Granada) to bring under control such a planned area when Gibraltar appeared on the scene. It has been claimed that ramparts were probably built at Gibraltar afterward. Conferring to Kurdish social phenomenon Ali ibn al-Athir, Tariq constructed a castle on The Rock, but this was only for impermanent use, and after he had seized the zone of Algeciras he unrestrained it.
