Answer:

Court of the Lions

Step-by-step explanation:

Court of the Lions, part of The Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, is a Romanesque piece of architecture that began a new style. It included Moroccan architecture design into the previous stoic and massive architecture of early medieval Europe.

This means the Court is full of ornaments and decorations. The columns are slim, nothing like the usual thick, grand columns of that time, and the arches are done in the Islamic fashion being thinner, elongated, and pointed. All of this makes the Court of the Lions the forerunner of the later medieval architecture, including Gothic architecture, which was rich, ornament, elegant, and more transparent than the early examples.
