When the Moors arrived in Spain from North Africa in 700 A.D., they brought
along their centuries-old tile designs that influenced the existing Spanish
tile artistry. As the two cultures merged, two tile styles emerged Valencian
and Sevillian
During their conquest of Spain, the Moors decorated their castles and fortresses
with these mosaics as they did in Morocco. Though centuries old, their
beauty continues to grace homes using intricate lines and shapes to compose
geometrically symmetrical patterns.
