Answer

The architectural style of Domènech i Montaner was heavily influenced by Spanish-Arabic architecture. This influence is evident in the use of Moorish arches, geometric patterns, and Islamic motifs in his work. The use of these elements gave Domènech i Montaner's buildings a distinctively Mediterranean feel, and helped to establish him as one of the leading architects of the Modernisme movement.
