🎧 Listen to Introduction

The development of Aragonese Mudéjar art in the 12th century was the result of the particular political, social and cultural conditions of post-Reconquista Spain. This art was influenced by Islamic traditions and also reflected various contemporary European styles, especially Gothic. This art, which lasted until the beginning of the 17th century, is characterized by an extremely refined and creative use of bricks and glazed tiles in architecture, especially in bell towers.
