The tower is the oldest element of the Santa María de

Mediavilla Cathedral in Teruel, dating from the year 1257, and

displaying its Mudéjar origin and brick architecture most

clearly. The tower is one of ten Mudéjar monuments of

Aragón that form part of UNESCO's World heritage.

Mudéjar is the name given to the Moors or Muslims of Al-Andalus, who

remained in Mudéjar territory after the Reconquista but were

not converted to Christianity. Their distinctive style is evident in

architecture as well as the music, art, and crafts.

Una maravilla arquitectonica, una de esas joyas que ya no se hacen por causa de la alocada carrera de hacerlo rapido y barato, amen de otras consideraciones algunas veces artisticas en modo diferente. Como sea, aqui hay talento, no solo en el sujeto de la imagen sino en la composicion especifica orientada al tema, una especialidad que no se me da todavia (tal vez no se me de nunca). En fin, bien lograda y muy bien aprovechada la dura luz del casi mediodia. Un saludo.
