You can find many Moorish urban influences present in Seville, with the custom of decorating with small fountains in the courtyards and plants around the houses. However, most of the buildings of the Moorish aesthetic belong to the Múdejar style of Islamic art, inspired by the Arabic style and developed under the Christian Rule.
