Islamic-Spanish-Andalusian art or Spanish-Moorish is the historical name for Islamic art that arose in Andalusia (Spain during the period of Islamic rule) between the eighth and ninth centuries.[1]
Moorish architecture or Hispano-Moorish art is an Arab-Muslim architectural style, which developed in the Western Arab world, that is to say al-Andalus, and the Maghreb, in the territories occupied today today by Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.[2]
The Mosque of Cordoba is the main work of the caliphate period, and among the most prominent buildings built during the period of the Taifa kings we find the Aljafería Palace in Zaragoza,[3] and during the Almohad rule we find the Giralda in Seville and the Alhambra Palace in Granada during the Nasrid rule. Andalusian art has been linked to two types of unique artistic styles:medieval art and Mozarab art, (Christians under Islamic rule or immigrants from Andalusia to the Christian regions in the north who were influenced by art in the pre-Roman period).[4]
