Answer: Mudéjar

Step-by-step explanation:

Some characteristic elements of Mudéjar architecture are the horseshoe arches, voussoirs (stones placed vertically forming an arch, in order to distribute the weight), muqarnas (ornate domed or semi-domed vaults, often used in an entrance or to indicate the transition to another room) and most buildings have patios (indoor open spaces with gardens and water fountains).
