Morata de Jiloca welcomes the visitor on the left bank of the river that gives it its name with the remains of what was once a castle of Muslim origin and with the dazzling flickering of the sun’s rays reflected on the ceramics of the north fa\u00e7ade of the church of San Mart\u00edn de Tours, an essential part of Aragonese Mudejar architecture.<\/p>\n

Typologically, this church belongs to the group of fortress-churches, with a single nave and chapels between buttresses, and is characterised by the rationality of its structure and its solid, simple elements.<\/p>\n

Its Mudejar construction dates from the first decade of the 15th century; the history of the building underwent a reorientation at the end of the 16th century with the construction of a new chancel and the original chancel remaining as a choir at the foot of the church.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The church of San Mart\u00edn de Tours<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At first glance it can be seen that the church of San Mart\u00edn de Tours has a wider nave and lower elevation than the Mudejar churches of this type in Aragon, but its main distinguishing feature is the large tapestry that one of its fa\u00e7ades has become.<\/p>\n

Decorated with highlighted brick and polychrome ceramics in white and blue, it is striking for the large number of ornamental patterns used: multi-armed crosses forming lozenges, bands of corners and uncrossed mixtilinear arches alternate with discs and tiles forming eight-pointed stars and cylinders.<\/p>\n

The facade also stands out, following Gothic patterns but masterfully interpreted in the language of the Mudejar tradition.<\/p>\n

All this makes the hard years of the border war seem to be forgotten to give way to a visual spectacle as in the parish church of San Miguel de la Seo in Zaragoza, the gable of the Virgin of Tobed or the disappeared church of San Pedro Martir in Calatayud.<\/p>\n

Inside, the church of San Mart\u00edn houses the altarpiece of the Descent from the Cross, made in the second half of the 15th century, a magnificent example of panel painting.<\/p>\n

The heritage of Morata de Jiloca cannot be understood without its landscape, which is surprising for its gullies, a capricious modelling of nature. A pleasant walk along a path leads to a viewpoint where you can contemplate this phenomenon caused by the action of rain and wind on the gypsum soil in which the river Jiloca has carved its valley.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
