Alhambra

Origins

Alhambra is a visual style that originated in the 14th century during the Nasrid dynasty in Al-Andalus, Spain. It is famous for its intricate geometric patterns, arabesques, and decorative motifs. The Alhambra fortress in Granada, built in the 14th century, served as a major inspiration for this style. The intricate stucco work, the use of colorful tiles, and the repetition of geometric shapes are characteristic features that define the Alhambra style and make it famous even today.
