Estudio descriptivo de los monumentos árabes de Granada, Sevilla, y Córdoba : o, sea, la Alhambra, el Alcázar y la gran mezquita de occidente
Rafael Contreras's 1885 Spanish descriptive study, published in Madrid, documents Islamic monuments of Granada, Seville and Córdoba, including the Alhambra, Alcázar and Great Mosque, for scholars and architects. Its engravings show horseshoe arches, carved stucco doorways, columned galleries and a tiled minaret-like tower, offering a designer ready material for Moorish arch and tile patterns.
