"Why did Moorish design keep coming back Part of it was exotic appeal 19th-century Romanticism and Orientalism made the Alhambra a symbol of the other world that Europeans longed to imagine. Part of it was recognizability the horseshoe arch patterned tiles shaded courtyards all formed a visual language that was instantly distinct.
