Mudejar Architecture of Aragon

The Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon is the most outstanding example of Mudéjar art and architecture, the style of Iberian architecture and decoration strongly influenced by Moorish taste and workmanship. The 10 included sites cover the whole period (12th - 16th century).

The site was originally called Mudéjar Architecture of Teruel. It consisted of four churches in Teruel inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986: Cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla, Churches of San Pedro, San Martín and of the Saviour.
In the 1990s, the inhabitants of Zaragoza remarked that there were other, not less notable examples of the Mudejar style in Aragón, which had been excluded from the site. Consequently, in 2001, the site was renamed to its present title and expanded with six monuments in Zaragoza and its province: Santa María in Calatayud, Santa Tecla in Cervera de la Cañada, Santa María in Tobed, Palacio de la Aljafería, Church of San Pablo, and La Seo Cathedral in Zaragoza.

():
It is a widespread, multi-location WH with the main locations in Zaragoza, Calatayud, Teruel and some others. What appears to a bit cumbersome is actually and excellent opportunity to explore the province of Aragon.
