Very beautiful - I love that style of architecture. I first saw it up close in Gibraltar where one of my classmates was the son of the chief minister. I used to go to their house after school sometimes and it had a very similar courtyard. I think the style comes from the Islamic period in Spain - I’ve seen the same thing in Morocco.
