Hispano-Muslim architecture
Hispano-Muslim architecture, also known as Moorish architecture, developed in Spain under Islamic influence from the 8th to the 15th centuries. It features elaborate tile work, intricate stucco carvings, horseshoe arches, and spacious courtyards. Buildings often emphasize harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces, with decorative elements like calligraphy and geometric patterns reflecting Islamic art. Notable examples include the Alhambra in Granada and the Great Mosque of Córdoba. This style blends functional design with artistic beauty, creating atmospheres of grandeur and serenity that showcase a rich cultural fusion between Islamic and Iberian traditions.
