Winner: The Alhambra

Where is it?
Granada

What is it?
The imposing fortress complex, built high up on the hills overlooking Granada, dominates the Granada skyline. It was the home of a series of Moorish rulers and was the last stand of the final Moorish leader of Al-Andalus.

Alternatively... For more Moorish architecture, check out the Mezquita in Cordoba. There are gardens much like those in the Alhambra at the Alcazar in Seville
