The high level of economic activities in Andalusia and the practice of production had a great impact on improving the material and living standards of society, which made a significant contribution to the aspects of luxury experienced by Andalusians, in addition to the abundance of raw materials on the island land that helped the strength of the income of the individual, the state and society. The nature of Humans in general take the manifestations of the city by learning, and sometimes man imitates someone who is superior to him and tries to imitate him through development, ways of living and urbanization. This is exactly what we see among the Andalusian rulers and ruled, for most of their times they were imitating the East in everything from the methods of science to the urban, the result of the scientific and cultural progress of the peoples who ascend the ladder of civilization was the emergence of luxury in its widest gates, and this controlled the attitudes and behaviors of that community. If we come to the Andalusian society as a remarkable model through extrapolation of history, we find that luxury was characteristic of that society in the stage covered by the research. In addition to the above aspects of civilization, the cross-fertilization factor between Andalusia and European civilization gave this aspect a distinctive characteristic, which is the intermingling of nature of the lived life in terms of urbanization and luxury. On this basis, the historical evidence represented by urbanism was the best witness to the urban movement in building palaces and mosques, including the Cordoba Mosque, the focus of the study.
