| Summary | "Moorish Remains in Spain" by Albert Frederick Calvert is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the impact of the Arabian conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, with a keen focus on the architectural and decorative contributions of the Moors in significant cities like Cordova, Seville, and Toledo. It captures the essence of Moorish artistry and its historical significance in shaping Spain's cultural landscape. The opening of the volume introduces the author's dedication to King Alfonso XIII, reflecting the immense interest in Moorish monuments in Spain. It outlines the author's journey of discovery, revealing a broader array of Moorish architecture and art beyond the well-known Alhambra. Calvert emphasizes the historical narrative of the Moors in Spain, discussing their initial conquest, the establishment of their rule, and their lasting contributions that remain visible today. He expresses a desire to transport readers through visual representations, presenting a vivid tapestry of the Moorish influence that shaped not only the architectural heritage but also the cultural identity of Spain.
