Spain's Alhambra Palace is a prime example of which architectural style?

Uniquely Spanish, mudéjar is a hybrid of European architecture — such as Romanesque — and Moorish style. The mixing of the two cultures began with the Moorish invasion in the 10th century AD; by the time the Spanish finally reclaimed the land in 1491, Moorish influences (and people) were permanently woven into Spanish architecture and culture. Mudéjar is distinguished by the use of intricate brickwork, geometrical figures, patterned tiling, and decorative calligraphy elements.
