   Moorish architecture, the style developed by the Moors in
      the later Middle Ages, esp. in Spain, in which the arch
      had the form of a horseshoe, and the ornamentation
      admitted no representation of animal life. It has many
      points of resemblance to the Arabian and Persian styles,
      but should be distinguished from them. See Illust. under
      Moresque.
