Moorish Revival architecture
Moorish Revival
or
Neo-Moorish
is one of the exotic revival
architectural styles
that were adopted by architects of Europe and the
Americas
in the wake of the
Romanticist
fascination with all things oriental
. It reached the height of its popularity after the mid-19th century, part of a widening vocabulary of
articulated
decorative ornament drawn from historical sources beyond familiar
classical
and
Gothic modes
.
