Tower of the church of San Miguel Arcángel, Villafeliche

The Mudejar tower in Villafeliche stands at the west end of the parish church of San Miguel Arcángel. Built in the early 17th century, this tower represents one of the best examples of this period, in which Mudejar forms, deeply rooted in Aragonese society due to the late expulsion of the Moriscos from this region (1610), experienced a late revival and a persistence of the Mudejar ornamental schemes.

This tower falls under the mixed structure category that became popular and widespread starting in the second half of the 16th century: it has two sections, the lower one with a square footprint over a masonry plinth and the upper one being octagonal. The protruding brick ornamental schemes follow the outstanding tradition of the school of Calatayud, with Villafeliche representing one of the best examples of this current. The bottom section is decorated with simple and staggered angled brick friezes. The floor features a frieze of green and white ceramic tiles.

The octagonal upper section consists of buttresses in the form of pilasters at the corners with round-arched openings on each side, alternating with small strips of angled brick.
