For yet another year, Territorio Mud\u00e9jar\u00a0is participating in the course entitled \u201cViaje al arte mud\u00e9jar<\/a>\u201d (Journey into Mudejar art), which will take place on July 13, 14 and 15, 2020, as part of the special courses at\u00a0University of Zaragoza<\/a>,\u00a0aimed at directly studying Mudejar art by taking in-depth tours of the most emblematic monuments in these areas. The course provides a thorough explanation of the geographic, historical, ethnographic and artistic framework of this genre, and represents a continuation of the journey that began seven years ago under the leadership of professor Gonzalo M. Borr\u00e1s Gualis, a constant presence in our work.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019ll be visiting 16 towns, all of which are part of Territorio Mud\u00e9jar, and traveling hundreds of kilometers between the valleys in the districts of\u00a0Calatayud<\/a>,\u00a0Aranda<\/a>,\u00a0Daroca<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Valdejal\u00f3n<\/a>\u00a0with the director of Territorio Mud\u00e9jar, Victoria Trasobares; supervising professor of the\u00a0UNED in Calatayud<\/a>, Jos\u00e9 Luis Cort\u00e9s; University of Zaragoza professor, Rebeca Carretero; art historian at\u00a0Centro de Estudios Bilbilitanos<\/a>, Silvia Molina, and Elena Paulino, from\u00a0the Complutense University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mudejar architecture of Aragon was designated as UNESCO<\/a> World Heritage\u00a0in 1986 in the city of\u00a0Teruel<\/a>\u00a0and in 2001 it was extended to the province of Zaragoza, with the\u00a0city of Zaragoza<\/a>, the Santa Mar\u00eda collegiate church in\u00a0Calatayud<\/a>, the church of La Virgen in\u00a0Tobed<\/a>\u00a0and the church of Santa Tecla in\u00a0Cervera de la Ca\u00f1ada<\/a>. \u201cThis course focuses on the conceptual hub around Calatayud, which features a web of rivers linked to the Jal\u00f3n River, bolstering the concept of valley culture through learning on site. The course affords a complete understanding by learning on the ground and through the unique contribution of each individual place,\u201d explains Victoria Trasobares. The director of Territorio Mud\u00e9jar added that monuments are just the tip of the iceberg in Mudejar culture, because it is the context of the towns and the valleys that provides room for comprehension. \u201cIn this course, we show that learning can have a scientific side, but it can also have a fun approach entailing a journey that is open to all audiences, with universal access, and this element has defined our courses ever since we first began in 2014,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n
