Moorish Architecture talk at Victoria Hall
Ian Cocklburn, Art Historian, is hosting a talk at Victoria Hall on the three most impressive monuments to the achitectural creativity of the Moors in the Spain, the Alhambra of Granada, the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Alcazar of Seville.
According to the organisers, "The classical origins that influenced the Moorish style are less well-known, but fascinating to explore, as too is the unique interior decorative style developed by the Moors, which gives their architecture its beauty and exotic appeal – an appeal so strong that the Christians sometimes copied it, even as they slowly reconquered the territory from its Islamic rulers. This lecture provides a comprehensive introduction to the peninsula's Moorish architecture."
