That's unfortunately limited.

You should create one there considering your interest in the subject. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia of the people. In contrast to the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is the encyclopedia of the intellectual snob. You would be fighting the good fight against elitism.

Tuscany

the arabs or middle easterns never arrived here; the castle below was built by a local (eclectic) Count who liked arab architecture "MOORISH REVIVAL" style

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammezzano
no.. wrong it seems the Count was of Spanish origin probably come with Eleonora di Toledo here

The original palazzo was erected in about 1605 by the Spanish nobleman, Ximenes of Aragon. In the 19th century, Ferdinand Panciatichi Ximenes inherited the property and, between 1853 and 1889, remodeled it into one of the largest examples of Moorish Revival architecture. Umberto I, king of Italy, visited Ximenes at Sammezzano in 1878.

The palazzo served as a luxury hotel in the post WWII era; then was vacated and closed. A committee called FPXA 1813-2013, acronym for Ferdinand Panciatichi Ximenes d’Aragon, was organized in 2012 to attempt to restore and preserve the palazzo, which has 365 rooms, each with unique, Moorish decoration.

I doubt much is left in the Balkans. There is a tendency to destroy such things.

Glad we don't have any of that in Portugal.
