    It's called "Arab-Norman" because it was North African styles that were built by Normans, who emulated them. The original influence would have been from Tunisia most likely, though you can see it today in southern Spain, Morocco, Algeria, and Malta also.

    Ma non è una invenzione, le stradine strette sono una necessità. Sono attestate per la prima volta in Mesopotamia perché i resti più antichi sono di lì.

    I suspect some elements of Moorish architecture have also been carried over to Latin America. I see some similarities between architecture in Morocco, Sicily, southern Spain, and Latin America.

    I suspect that white houses without a roof are typical of every sunny place in the earth where it does not rain. Unless you want to argue that the white color was invented by Moors.
