Moorish Architecture refers to the distinctive style that emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the period of Muslim rule, particularly from the 8th to the 15th centuries. This architectural style is characterized by intricate tile work, horseshoe arches, and elaborate stucco decorations. Notable examples include the Alhambra in Granada and the Great Mosque of Córdoba.
The design often incorporates geometric patterns, calligraphy, and lush gardens, reflecting the cultural blend of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish influences. Moorish architecture emphasizes harmony with nature, using light and water to create serene spaces, making it a significant part of Spain's historical heritage.
