Antonio Gaudi's Parc Guell, with its organic, asymmetrical forms and brilliantly patterned surfaces, is representative of the architect's eclectic style combining elements of mujedar (Spain's characteristic Christian-Muslim amalgam), Gothic and baroque architecture.
La Mezquita Mosque in Cordoba, Spain, is a breathtaking example of the mujedar style of architecture.
The red and white striped pattern of brick and stone in the arches gives a unity and distinctive character to the whole design. There are more than 80 colored granite jasper and marble pillars in total.
