World Heritage: The Mudejar Art in Zaragoza

The masterpiece of local Gothic architecture is the Cathedral of San Salvador (St Saviour) or La Seo, where the Kings were crowned during the Middle Ages. The exterior invites our admiration, with the beautiful “mudejar” decoration of brick and tile. In the interior, the Main Altarpiece, the dome and the impressive Tapestry Museum are not to be missed.

The jewels of the Crown in Middle Ages, the beautiful Aljafería Palace (11th C.), where both Moslem and Mudejar style melt in. Most notable are the courtyards of St. Isabel and St. Martin, the beautiful oratory, the “mihrab” and the impressive multi-colored paneled ceiling of the Throne Room.
