La Almunia de Do\u00f1a Godina has in its fertile lands and privileged landscape a rich history that wrote some of its main chapters in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

It retains its name from the Muslim domination Al-munia,<\/em> which means “orchard”, and its surname was taken from Do\u00f1a Godina, a wealthy landowner from Caba\u00f1as 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.<\/p>\n

The Romanesque chapel of Caba\u00f1as, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n

Construction of the current building began in 1754, following the Baroque style of the architect Ventura Rodr\u00edguez, which was followed in this work by Jos\u00e9 Juli\u00e1n de Yarza y Lafuente; the Baroque work saved the Mudejar tower of the previous church, integrating it into the modern period.<\/p>\n

It is a tower of the so-called mixed<\/em> that combines a lower square body that from its structure we can date to the 14th century and an upper octagonal body, which Professor Borr\u00e1s 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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
