Dating back to the 14th century, this architectural marvel showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design that define Moorish art. The image portrays a border of arches adorned with stunning geometric patterns and plasterwork. The unknown creator skillfully combines geometrical shapes with delicate floral motifs, creating a harmonious blend of beauty and precision.
