Because of their religion, Islamic designers had to use geometric patters, plants or animals and calligraphy for decorative purposes. Human figures were proscribed. This led to great developments in intricate tessellations. Many examples can be seen in the Moorish architecture in North Africa and Southern Spain - the Alhambra in Granada is an excellent example.
