Territorio Mudéjar Routes 2021

In a strategic alliance with the Tourism Department of the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, we present twelve routes accompanied by a complete tour of the villages of Territorio Mudéjar in a journey through the Mudejar period in our province that begins in the middle of the 13th century and ends in the last decades of the 16th century.

This journey takes us from the urban beauty of the coexistence of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim populations, to the emergence of the key works of the 14th and 15th centuries: the fortress churches and towers.

We want you to get to know our places, which is why each route will have a presentation date on which you can join us for free but always by making a reservation in advance through the agency that collaborates with us in this project and the link to which we leave you below.

We have organised presentations for the months of June, September and November that we will open progressively and we will finish in December with a great route through the Mudejar of Aragon, declared World Heritage by UNESCO and with which we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the international declaration.

Would you like to join us?

The routes under the theme the Mudejar, Mestizo Land and borderland lead us to the localities in which the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures developed in an extraordinary and lasting way. The planned trips will allow us to understand how this period of cultural fusion is still clearly reflected today in urbanism, the houses and monuments of these towns that played an important role in the Aragonese territory during the 12th and 13th centuries. We will discover it in the Jewish, Moorish and Christian quarters of large urban centres such as Calatayud, Daroca and Borja, as well as in more rural towns such as Villafeliche, Mesones de Isuela, Torrellas, Magallón and Tauste.

Territorio Mudéjar Routes: Mestizo Land and borderland

    Territorio Mudéjar continues with its routes.In January we offered a first panoramic approach in the magazine La magia de viajar por Aragón (The magic of travelling in Aragon); in this new issue, the “Mestizo Land and borderland” route takes us to visit the places where the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures developed in an extraordinary and lasting way.

    We will be able to understand how this period of cultural fusion is still clearly reflected today in urbanism, the country houses and monuments of these villages that played an important role in the Aragonese territory during the 12th and 13th centuries.

    We will discover it in the Jewish, Moorish and Christian quarters of large urban centres such as Calatayud, Daroca and Borja, as well as in more rural towns such as Villafeliche, Mesones de Isuela, Torrellas, Magallón and Tauste.

    We invite you to take a leisurely stroll and a fresh look to recognise the vestiges of this rich coexistence of cultures, to understand their evolution, ways of life, trades and traditions, and to understand their historical importance and their reflection in the present day.

    Find out more about the route.

    Territorio Mudéjar Routes: The beauty of a genuine art form

      In 2021, Mudejar architecture celebrates a double anniversary in its declaration as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO: 35 years since the recognition of Mudejar architecture of Teruel in 1986, and 20 years since the extension of the international brand to the entire Aragonese territory, with the incorporation of six buildings from the province of Zaragoza in 2001. This extension was key in order to understand the true dimension and significance of Mudejar art in Aragon.

      With this in mind, we have started a series of printed trips, with the help of Prames and the magazine La Magia de Viajar por Aragón (The Magic of travelling in Aragón), in which every two months we will travel around the Mudejar heritage in the province of Zaragoza.

      The trips will lead us to the month of December, when we will commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the declaration as World Heritage of some of its most outstanding examples.

      The first of the articles, available in the January issue of the magazine La Magia de Viajar (The Magic of Travelling), allows us to explain the beauty of a genuine art form. That is to say, why Mudejar art, exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula and an enclave between Islamic and Christian art derived from the conditions of coexistence in medieval Spain, is the most genuine artistic manifestation of Spain and has its greatest exponent in Aragon, a land of frontiers and a melting pot of cultures.

      Territorio Mudéjar Routes, a journey to beauty

      In a strategic alliance with the Tourism Department of the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, we offer you twelve routes accompanied by a complete tour of the villages of Territorio Mudéjar in a temporary journey through the Mudejar of our province that begins in the middle of the 13th century and ends in the last decades of the 16th century.

      This journey takes us from the urban beauty of the coexistence of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim populations, to the emergence of the key works of the 14th and 15th centuries: the fortress churches and the towers.

      Not forgetting that we are in a place full of life and activity, with a wide range of handicrafts and a rich gastronomy based on local produce and the traditional use of the landscape.

      We want you to get to know our places, full of professionals who work with works that are unique in the world in a territory marked by the creation of beautiful places, respectful of the landscape and where the inhabitants are the beginning and the end of all actions.

      The routes under the theme Mudejar, Mestizo and Frontier lead us to the localities in which the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures developed in an extraordinary and lasting way. The planned trips will allow us to understand how this period of cultural fusion is still clearly reflected today in the town planning, the houses and monuments of these towns that played an important role in the Aragonese territory during the 12th and 13th centuries.
