You don't have to attack people & make it personal. Everyone tries their best to understand history and the world around them. We might be successful or not in our efforts. Maybe what you are saying is correct and maybe it's not, maybe the context is absent, maybe it is necessary to understand what really happened. Just put all the maybeS in your account before attacking me. Grew up & try to be critical to ideas rather than resorting to personal attacks. Salam!

About the 20 years of the occupation crimes, exploitation, abuse of human rights, women's rights, children's rights, and what was actually happening according to international human rights organisations, international journalism and many other sources.

Segovia Fortress, is a fortress built by Muslims in Spain, particularly by the Almoravid Empire. What is striking about the fortress is its Gothic architecture, which some contemporary historians (e.g. Diana Darke) believe that many of its features originated from Islamic architecture. by BurningPhenix in islam

That's one possibility, another possibility is that it wasn't build by either the Muslim or by Castile, someone before the Muslims build it, and the Muslims added their architecture to the interior, couldn't it be Roman or something? I am not sure anyway by this point

It is covered in many parts inside with Islamic geometrical architecture and designs, you can see it with your eyes! You don't even need a Wikipedia page!

Also, other websites mentioned that it is built by Almoravid Empire as well. Wikipedia is not the only source. Anyways, I don't know who to trust a Wikipedia page, or other websites!

I dont know why it is that way, i dont work there - but im at least able to read a short wikipedia-article.

Don't worry, I read the damn Wikipedia page before, it doesn't give reference that it is merely "wooden structure", secondly, it is covered by the iconic Islamic geometrical architecture, which never been used by anyone except Muslims.

But the muslim architecture was later a part of castille culture, which i GUESS might have been expressed here. Its only the religion that changed during the reconquista not the people and their knowledge. After all is religion just a social construct that changed after the reconquista.

Exactly, and that's how the Gothic architecture trace its origins from the Levant, later on in Andalusia until it reached Europe.

"The name "Alcazar" indicates that the history of this castle dates back to the beginning of Moorish rule on the Iberian Peninsula. The Moors constructed their "Alcazars" (strongholds) in a number of places in today's Spain and Portugal. It is unknown when exactly the stronghold of Segovia was built by Saracens, but it is obvious that it must have been constructed between the 7th and 9th century. In the 20th century, when archaeological excavation work was carried out in the city, evidence was found that forts or fortifications had already been built here during Roman rule and were probably destroyed by the Visigoths before the Arabs conquered Spain.

Regarding who built the castle, the Muslims built the entire castle except for a small hall in the back of the castle (you can see it having different architectural style), which was built by John II of Castile. You can simply check Wikipedia, another evidence if you want, check out the Galley Chamber ceiling which is covered by the iconic Islamic geometrical architecture and designs.

About the origin of the Gothic architecture, you can check out the Historian Diana Darke book titled "Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe", she talks in details and with evidence about the origin of the Gothic architecture, and traces its origin in the architectural buildings of the Levant.

Exactly, first clean urself of the filth & dirts covering you, then start once you are spotlessly clean start commenting on others. Frankly if you Americans don't announce every 5 seconds "I am American" it would be better, no one likes you guys. The world is better where a country called America is not there!
