Taifa of Badajoz (Age of Charlemagne) Civil Tier 9

Andalusian Architecture

The Moors - Muslims who lived in the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula - experienced something of an architectural revolution during the Umayyad occupation of Al-Andalus. The distinctive style of Moorish arches, courtyards, ornate tilework and muqarnas masonry gave their buildings a distinctive appearance. One of the most enduring examples is the Great Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba. The first Umayyad Emir, Abd al-Rahman I, desired to create a mosque to rival the holiness and importance of Mecca, and outshine any mosque in Baghdad and Jerusalem. The cathedral has a famous, and distinctive 'hypostyle' hall - the ceiling is held up by over 850 columns made from a wealth of different materials, including onyx, marble and granite.
