The conquest of Taifa was a military operation led by the Corona de Castilla, with support Genove, Aragonés and Granadino, through which the city of Tarifa was conquered in 1292, in the power of the Benimerines.
History
The siege of the city, which had maintained a key strategic importance far away from the Edad Media for the different powers of the zone,[4] consisted of a combined attack of land and naval forces. Since the previous year, Tarifa had been subjected to a naval blockade to prevent the supply of supplies.[5] The naval contingent, led by the Genoese admiral Benedetto Zaccaria, It was composed of a fleet of ships Genoese, castellanas and Aragonese (the latter sub-commanded by Berenguer de Montoliú).[6] Sancho IV also provided logistical assistance from the emirate of Granada.[7] The land siege was formed recently July 1292, arriving in the area of Sancho IV of Castile.[8]
The entry of the victorious forces of Sancho IV into the city began on October 14, 1292.[9]
According to Miguel Ángel Ladero Quesada, the conquest of the city was the most decisive Christian advance among the siglos of conflicts in the area of the Strait of Gibraltar.[10]
