How it came to be
In Aragon in north-eastern Spain, Mudéjar buildings rooted in Islamic tradition were built from the 12th century, after the Reconquista, until the early 17th century. They use brick and glazed tiles, shown above all in the bell towers, whose structure was inherited from the Islamic minaret.
The style had two sources: the crown's rebuilding of the Aljafería Palace, which kept its Islamic ornament, and Romanesque churches built in brick instead of stone. Most buildings stand in the valleys of the Ebro and its tributaries.
The Mudéjar architecture of Teruel was inscribed in 1986, and in 2001 the site was extended to other buildings in Zaragoza, Calatayud and elsewhere. It now includes ten monuments, among them Teruel Cathedral and the church of San Pedro, and the Aljafería and La Seo in Zaragoza.
