The moors left a strong influence on the cuisine of Andalusia.
Despite several changes, the tower remains one of the most beautiful architectures of the Islamic world. After the Reconquista in 1568, the Cathedral of Seville was built and the Giralda was adapted in the design to become a bell tower. The Giralda in Seville was originally a minaret built by the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century. It’s architecture defines the splendour of Cordoba as a city that was hailed as one of the most prosperous cities of Europe under Abd ar-Rahman III, the emir and caliph of Cordoba. Locally known as Mesquita-Catedral, this medieval mosque in Cordoba was built in the 8th century by an Islamic architect. The oldest part of the Alcazar, the Patio del Yeso, dates back to 1170 and was built by the Almohad, the last moorish dynasty to rule Seville. The Royal Alcazar in Seville is the oldest royal palace that is still in use with the royal family residing in the upper palace apartment when they are in Seville. THE ROYAL ALCAZARĪlcazar means a ‘palace-fortress’, and while Spain has plenty of them dotted across the country, only six are royal. It was built in the mid 13th century by Mohammed ben Al- Ahmar, the emir of Granada, to serve as the palace and fortress complex of the Nasrid dynasty and takes its name from the Arabic word “Alhamra” meaning “the red one”. Set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Serra Nevada mountain in the city of Granada, the Alhambra fort is a splendid example of moorish architecture.
