Mozarabic culture

Mozarabic culture refers to the unique blend of Christian and Muslim influences that emerged in medieval Spain, particularly during the period of Muslim rule from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Mozarabs were Christians living under Muslim governance who retained their religious practices while incorporating elements of Islamic culture, such as language, art, and architecture. This cultural synthesis is evident in various aspects, including the distinctive Mozarabic architectural style characterized by horseshoe arches and intricate ornamentation, as well as in music and literature. The Mozarabic legacy remains a significant part of Spain's multicultural history.
