Andalusian architecture

Andalusian architecture refers to the style developed in southern Spain during the period of Al-Andalus, blending Islamic, Christian, and Jewish influences. It features intricate tilework (azulejos), horseshoe arches, ornate courtyard gardens, and stucco decorations. Buildings often have elegant, symmetrical designs with domes and minarets, reflecting a fusion of cultures and a focus on beauty and harmony. This style is evident in historic sites like the Alhambra and Córdoba’s Mezquita, showcasing a unique craftsmanship that emphasizes artistry and cultural dialogue through architecture.
