Summer is a time for festivals and in them, we can always find a space to talk about our heritage.

This Saturday we were invited to participate in the Armantes Wine Festival in Cervera de la Cañada, a meeting organised by the cultural association Los Bubillos to focus on the enormous potential of the town: for its Mudejar church declared World Heritage by UNESCO, for its spectacular landscape of ancient vineyards, for the Armantes mountain range and for its gastronomy and human wealth.

At this festival, the children of Cervera showed us their work inside the church. An activity in line with our project Circular from the rural school, in which we want the youngest children to understand, appreciate and help us to promote the heritage of their localities.

Territorio Mudéjar took part in a presentation in which we explained our raison d’être and developed the activity ‘Proyectos en ruta, un paseo por Cervera’ (Projects en route, a walk around Cervera). We talked about the cultural and landscape heritage of the area and, of course, we made a special stop at the Mudejar jewel: the church of the Assumption or Santa Tecla, the work of the master builder Mahoma Rami. This fortress church, which the visitor finds austere in appearance, hides in its interior an impressive painted and stapled mural decoration, plasterwork in the windows and the parapet of the choir loft, in late Gothic style, and splendid Mudejar pottery.

Thank you very much for inviting us!
