Then this chairmanship moved to morocco in the end of 11 th AD century when Muslims of Andalus ask the support of those who reside in north Africa to fight the Christians coming forward who aimed rejecting the Muslims from Andalus following the state of el Morabeteen declined El Mowahedeen state was established on its wrecks - which is the state in whose shad the Moroccan original style had flourished .

The most magnificent buildings left by the style is el Hamra Palace in Granada in 14 th AD century , whose buildings are great . A slender pillars with crowns garnished ( Mokarnasat ) covered walls with gypsum ceramic and beautiful writings .
