 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.
