Home of Moorish artisans

Villafeliche, a manor of the Camarasa marquisate, is one of the best examples of rural mortuary, as in Torrellas or Terrer, and it is enough to stroll through its streets to feel the urban imprint of Islamic tradition.

We know that the town had two quarters, one of Old Christians and the other first of Mudejars and then New Christians, after the expulsion of the Moors. Its urban layout is organised around a main artery with narrow streets and alleys that form a picturesque layout punctuated by ancestral homes, the nucleus where the mosque would have stood, of which remains were preserved until well into the 20th century.

The hamlet was dominated by a fortress of Muslim origin, which in 1221 became part of the kingdom of Aragon and which today imposingly defines the profile of the town.

The Royal Gunpowder Factory

In the town centre, the Baroque church of San Miguel stands out especially, with a tower that reminds us of the Mudejar tradition of the town; decorated with groined ceramic tiles and highlighted brickwork, this tower is an example of how the deep roots of Mudejar forms in Aragonese society, due to the late expulsion of the Moors (1610), favoured the survival of the building tradition.

Villafeliche also has a Mudejar stamp in its crafts. On the one hand, it has a renowned pottery tradition dating back to the 15th century and is known to have been the largest supplier of pots in the region. On the other hand, the gunpowder mills and the Real Fábrica de Pólvora of the town constituted, in its more than four hundred years of existence, one of the main economic activities of the province of Zaragoza and Aragon.

Today, now definitively closed, they form a pre-industrial landscape of great heritage importance which, due to its geographical extension and the complexity of the production process, still reveals its past economic, social and strategic importance. The origin of the gunpowder mills of Villafeliche seems to go back to the Mudejar period, although their peak was between the 18th and 19th centuries: in 1764 there were 165 powder mills in operation and in 1800 there were some 180.

Also worth seeing is the striking Way of the Cross marked by small pantheon shrines.

Mudejar identity

In the heart of the Grío river valley, between the Vicor and Algairén mountain ranges, Tobed has become the gateway to the Mudejar style not only because of the imposing church of the Virgin, one of the most genuine Mudejar monuments in Aragon and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, but also because the town has turned this unique style into a territorial project for the future that encompasses history, art, education, landscape, traditions and people and which has made it possible to use these resources to generate identity and wealth.

An example is the creation of the Espacio Mudéjar Mahoma Calahorrí, a museum of the history of the Mudejar installed in the Palacio de los canónigos and which shows the Mudejar art of Aragon and the social and cultural content in which it developed.

The town also stands out for the preservation of several traditions linked to Islamic trades such as pottery and ceramics, with the recovery of part of the Obradores neighbourhood, where around 50 workshops were once in operation, with common work spaces such as the balseros or some of the kilns.

The paradigm of the Mudejar fortress church:
UNESCO WorldHeritage Site

The church of the Virgin of Tobed is one of the architectural jewels of Mudejar art. It is an archetypal church-fortress that began to be built in 1356 as a result of the influence of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, with the patronage of Pedro IV of Aragon, the kings of Castile, the archbishop of Zaragoza, Lope Fernández de Luna and the pontiff Benedict XIII; it also had the best Mudejar masters of the time: Mahoma Calahorri and Mahoma Rami.

The power of its exterior with its compact volumetry, punctuated by turrets and buttresses, and its impressive main façade with abundant decoration in tracery and two-colour glazed ceramics contrasts with the delicacy and elegance of its interior, magnificent with its walls covered with decorative stucco and hollows decorated with carved and fretwork plasterwork in aljez.

This church thus represents the concept of Mudejar space in its purest state, with spaces built from variations in light. Intimate and evocative spaces, where nuanced light brings beautifully decorated walls to life. The interior completes its catalogue with a carved and polychrome wooden alfarje that currently serves as a choir loft at the foot of the nave, leaving the Baroque organ to take centre stage.

The influence of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Tobed is visible throughout the town centre, which, although striking for its simplicity and “white village” appearance, preserves important buildings from the modern period, such as the Lonja, the parish church of San Pedro and the Palacio de los Canónigos, also known as the Encomienda, from the Baroque period.

The town also conserves other elements of interest such as the tower of the Islamic castle and the hermitage of San Valentín on the crest of the Algairén mountain range.

The Jalón River plains

Ricla has a strategic position in the Jalón Valley that has made it a village of Celtiberians – the city of Nertóbriga was located there -, Romans, Muslims, Jews and Christians. A melting pot of cultures that gave this territory its personality.

Of all of them, Ricla stands out for its Islamic past, which is still very present in the morphology of its streets – full of bends, alleyways and lanes -, in architectural elements and in irrigation systems, such as the irrigation ditches. The town still preserves the castle of Muslim origin, although it has been very much renovated and looks like a manor house, which was of great importance as a defensive position.

A witness to the region's history

But the most outstanding Mudejar monument is the church of La Asunción with its slender tower. The construction of this Mudejar temple was carried out in three stages: at the beginning of the 15th century, the apse and the first section of the nave were built; well into the 16th century, it was extended with a second section of large proportions and two chapels, and the Mudejar tower was built; and in the 18th century, it was extended with a new chapel and the interior was decorated. It is currently a brick church, with a single nave with two bays and a polygonal apse covered with a ribbed vault decorated with geometrical agrammels in the Mudejar tradition.

The tower stands at the foot of the church with two bodies: the lower one is square and ornamented with brickwork and highlighted brickwork. The upper or bell tower is octagonal, reinforced with buttresses at the corners and decorated with bands of angled bricks, diamond-shaped brick panels and semicircular arches. The tower is topped by a spire that supports a cross.

On the other hand, a stroll along Santa Cruz street allows you to discover the best examples of the town’s civil architecture and you can follow an itinerary on foot or by bicycle around Ricla to discover the area’s hydraulic heritage and its horticultural wealth.

Lordship of the Luna family

Mesones de Isuela is visible from afar because of its majestic castle, which, with a surface area of more than 3,000 m² and a robust presence, dominates the valley of orchards and the foothills of the Buitrera mountain range.

This fortress, possibly of Templar origin, belonged to the Luna lineage and with a Gothic style construction with a military function, hides in its interior one of the Mudejar jewels of the town: a Mudejar ceiling that is unparalleled in Europe. It is located inside one of the six cylindrical towers that reinforce the exterior of the castle and served as a chapel. It is a very unique example of a hexagonal armature made up of 96 panels painted with as many angels with candles.

The decoration is completed by a frieze of plant and animal motifs and the arms of the archbishop of Zaragoza, Don Lope Fernández de Luna, patron of this work.

Islamic layout

Mesones de Isuela was, since the 13th century, a Mudejar majority town and its traces are still very present.

At the foot of the castle lies the village where the parish church of La Asunción was built in the Mudejar style in the 16th century and, although it had later additions in the 18th century, it maintains its Mudejar origins intact.

The hallmark of this style is the small but beautiful tower at the foot of the church, built in brick on a masonry base. The tower, built on a single nave covered by star-shaped rib vaults, consists of two sections. The lower one has a square floor plan, a Hispano-Muslim minaret structure and is decorated with multi-armed crosses forming lozenges. The upper one is octagonal and its semicircular arches were opened to house the bells and the clock, for which part of the original openings and decorative panels had to be broken.

The character of Mudejar culture

Professor Gonzalo M. Borrás Gualis defined the locality as one of the Aragonese towns where Mudejar architecture acquires a powerful personality, with three Mudejar churches marked by the use of plaster mortar to finish their walls. Added to all this is the survival of a magnificent urban ensemble dotted with 15th century Mudejar houses that make the town an undeniable attraction.

Of the church of San Miguel (14th century), only the perimeter walls, the side chapels and the last two sections of the nave remain, with a bell tower and the remains of a small tower. The church of Santa María, basically built in plaster mortar, is the oldest church in Maluenda. Its imposing presence is highlighted by the arquettes’ viewing gallery and by the preservation of one of the most important Aragonese roofs of the time, made by the master builder Yusuf Adolmalih, whose signature has been preserved. The third Mudejar monument is the church of Santas Justa and Rufina. Completed in 1413, it is a fortress church that masterfully integrates the defensive and religious functions and stands out for its powerful exterior volume and the walkway that runs inside over the side chapels.

Christian tastes

Maluenda is a monumental town with an urban layout with Moorish roots that unfolds under the protection of the 9th century rammed-earth castle and its watchtower, popularly known as El Palomar. The castle is of Islamic origin, although archaeological remains show evidence of a possible earlier Celtiberian settlement. The tower is contemporary with the castle and was built by Muslim masters.

The town is one of the most interesting examples of the Mudejar phenomenon in Aragon, in which the best buildings of religious Mudejar architecture appear in areas with no Mudejar architecture at all. This was the case, for example, in Ateca, Tobed and Cervera de la Cañada.

With its trio of churches, Maluenda also shows that Mudejar art prevailed at all social levels and was fully accepted by medieval Aragonese society.

Other urban elements of great interest in the town include the 14th century arch that was closed with a gate and rake and formed part of the town’s defence; the convent of the Discalced Carmelites, and the hermitages – including those of Saints Gervasio and Protasio – due to their location on a vantage point with excellent views of the Jiloca valley.

Longares castle

On an extensive ochre and reddish plain, with the Algairén mountain range as a lookout and with a tapestry of 3,000 hectares of vineyards, Longares can be seen in the distance by the silhouette of its church tower.

It is one of the most sober of the Aragonese Mudéjar style, with a square floor plan and a hollow interior structure divided into six floors covered with a pointed barrel vault, which does not correspond to the exterior, which is structured in three sections.

The third body concentrates the decoration: the four sides have the same composition, with two pointed-arch openings, framed by a brick frame with a brick frame highlighted by octagonal loops of four – its main ornamental motif – combined with cartouches; all this is completed with ceramic decoration based on ribbons forming spikes, and discs with white, blue and green pieces.

The Islamic tradition

Information on the date of construction of the tower is not precise, but its structure and decoration would place it in the second half of the 14th century. This monument adjoins the foot of the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, in Renaissance style and built on the site of a 12th century Romanesque church. On its south side it preserves a Mudejar canvas from the old church; The temple houses works of incalculable value such as the altarpiece of Nuestra Señora del Rosario, painted by Guión y Balladares; the altarpieces of the Virgen del Pilar, Santo Cristo and Santa Ana; the pulpit, with profuse pictorial decoration on plaster; the Ecce-Homo chapel with a bust attributed to Alonso Cano; the 16th century Muel ceramic baptismal font, or the mummy of Doña Isabel de Ledesma.

Longares has a walled urban structure of which three of the five access gates to the town have survived: those of Valencia, Somera and Zaragoza, the latter of which has been rebuilt. The town’s heritage is completed by the Fuente de los Machos fountain and the Paloteao de Longares, a dance that takes place during the patron saint festivities for the Virgin in September.

The “kitchen garden” of Cabañas

La Almunia de Doña Godina has in its fertile lands and privileged landscape a rich history that wrote some of its main chapters in the Middle Ages.

It retains its name from the Muslim domination Al-munia, which means “orchard”, and its surname was taken from Doña Godina, a wealthy landowner from Cabañas who in the 12th century donated an orchard to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem to establish a hospital in the present-day town, which was the origin of the new town.

The Romanesque chapel of Cabañas, which preserves a magnificent collection of Gothic mural paintings, a Romanesque font and a Mudejar choir raised on an alfarje decorated with paintings of knights, heraldry and animals, bears witness to the ancient settlement. The petril also has Mudejar motifs of a loop of four combined with crosses.

But the Mudejar legacy of La Almunia has another surprise in store in the town centre, where there is one of the most beautiful towers in Aragon.

The church of La Asunción

The parish church of the Assumption boasts the identary sign of the locality, a cast zinc dome placed in the first decade of the 20th century. But it is when you enter the town centre that its slender Mudejar tower becomes its most unmistakable feature.

Construction of the current building began in 1754, following the Baroque style of the architect Ventura Rodríguez, which was followed in this work by José Julián de Yarza y Lafuente; the Baroque work saved the Mudejar tower of the previous church, integrating it into the modern period.

It is a tower of the so-called mixed that combines a lower square body that from its structure we can date to the 14th century and an upper octagonal body, which Professor Borrás dated to 1575 and which exceeds 40 metres in height. Built in the style of a Hispano-Muslim minaret, the lower body of the building is highly decorated on the outside with angles, zigzags and multi-armed crosses forming lozenges, in keeping with the ornamental tradition of the period. The octagonal upper body contains the belfry, which opens to the exterior by means of two pointed arches on each side.

Birthplace of Papa Luna

Famous for its shoe industry, and with a previous tradition linked to the manufacture of cloth, Illueca is the birthplace of one of the most important figures of medieval Europe: Pedro Martínez de Luna, who was appointed Pope in Avignon as Benedict XIII and who is universally known as “Papa Luna”.

In the town, capital of the Aranda region, the castle-palace of the Count of Argillo, traditionally known as the Papa LunaThe building, which marks one of the most important landmarks of the route of the castles with its imposing Mudejar palace with Renaissance influences, preserves in its interior interesting ornaments of Mudejar tradition such as plasterwork, tracery and valuable pottery, the oldest of which are those of the Golden Room or the Alcove Room, dating from the 14th century and related to the figure of the master Mahoma Rami.

Illueca, like the rest of the villages in the Aranda and Isuela river basin, had a strong Mudejar population that coexisted with Christian communities.

Classic and enduring Mudejar features

The castle-palace of Illueca is closely linked to the figure of Don Pedro de Luna and after the numerous phases of construction carried out from the 14th to the 17th century, today we can contemplate an impressive complex built in masonry and brick with a rectangular floor plan.

On the hillside, at the foot of the castle, there is an urban hamlet of historic character, very different from the new areas of expansion due to its Jewish-Muslim street layout, in which the numerous bends in the streets stand out, forming attractive corners of the façades, which combine the whitewashing of the simplest houses with the brick of the noblest buildings such as the Casa Saldaña.

Along with the examples of civil architecture, the town preserves one of the most important examples of religious Mudejar architecture in the area; the parish church of San Juan Bautista, located at the foot of the castle, not only attracts attention with its 14th century Gothic-Renaissance structure, but its interior offers us the spectacle of the survival of the Islamic tradition with the magnificent Baroque plasterwork carried out in the cut technique by the master Juan de Marca at the end of the 17th century.

Converging valleys

Fuentes de Ebro, a fertile land of crops with protected designation of origin, sits on an escarpment crowned by the church of San Miguel Arcángel, the cultural and artistic centrepiece of the town. On the outside, the slender neo-Gothic tower commissioned from the architect Félix Navarro at the beginning of the 20th century to replace the original Mudejar tower, which had stability problems.

The interior of the temple seduces at first sight with its spaciousness, luminosity, elegance and richness and makes us understand why it is one of the most beautiful works of the Renaissance in Aragon. On the exterior brick walls of the primitive apse of this church, which has been converted into an entrance, various Mudejar tracery motifs have been preserved, basically interlacing to form lozenges. The Palace of the Counts of Fuentes, the hermitage of Santa Bárbara and the Roman site of La Corona are also worth a visit.

Rodén

The hamlet of Rodén deserves a separate chapter. Perched on a mound at an altitude of 300 metres, the Islamic ruins of the old village bear witness to the devastation wrought by the Civil War. It was destroyed and dismantled in 1937 and, after the war, a new settlement was built at the foot of the old one. The old town, which has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, was built with alabaster as a wall-building material, bound with mortar and plastered with plaster. These plaster stones blend in with the terrain on which they stand and their silhouette is still visible, with the houses and buildings used for secondary activities arranged in a staggered pattern on the northern slope, with the church tower and the remains of the castle as the main landmarks. The tower has been restored and is the best preserved element: built with alabaster ashlars, square in plan and without decorative elements. The castle preserves a room covered by a half-barrel vault, reinforced with a brick arch and open at both ends.

Daruqa

The city of Daroca is one of the most interesting Mudejar cities in Aragon. The town has been declared a historic-artistic site and to walk through its streets is to walk through a living museum of the Middle Ages, the period in which it experienced its greatest splendour.

Watched over by the remains of its ancient castle, the town is very much in keeping with its Mudejar heritage. It is enough to stroll through its narrow, stepped streets on the slope of a hillside or marvel at its towers such as that of the church of Santo Domingo de Silos, built in stone and brick, which is one of the best examples of transition between styles; its churches such as San Juan de la Cuesta – where its apse shows the transition from Romanesque to Mudejar – or discover treasures of its civil architecture such as the unknown Palacio de los Luna, without doubt the most important Aragonese Mudejar monument of its kind.

Stronghold of the Upper March

The condition of frontier land has marked the history of Daroca, which took its present name with the arrival of the Arabs, from the second half of the 8th century onwards.

Then the so-called Daruqa under the protection of the castle on San Cristobal hill. In 1120, Alfonso I the Battler, after the battle of Cutanda, conquered the town, which became an important border town. This led to the growth of its walled enclosure, which at more than four kilometres in length was once the largest in Aragon, with more than a hundred towers that mark out this complex with monumental gates leading to the city.

One of the charms of the city is to walk along its walls, with its imposing towers until you reach the castle, from where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.

Daroca cannot be understood without its imposing collegiate church of Santa María or Nuestra Señora de los Corporales, where architecture, ornamentation and the magnificent collection of movable goods are combined.

The building is also of interest because it is the guardian of the relic of the Sacred Bodies, the protagonists of a miracle that for centuries made Daroca a place of pilgrimage for Christians and whose tradition is still preserved today.
