| Summary: | The Mudéjar is not comparable to other Western architectural styles, such as Romanesque and Gothic or Renaissance and Baroque, and this is because the Mudejar is the cultural manifestation of a plural society, so it can not be understood as the survival of some forms or an Islamic art within a Christian culture, is the result of that cultural plurality under Christian rule. In this style there are two factors, political and cultural. According to the first, the political, Mudéjar art can only occur in the reconquered territory, that is, from the occupation of the territory by the mainland Christian kingdoms. As for the second factor, the Mudéjar is the cultural manifestation of a plural society, which means that there are important differentiating elements. On one side is the geographical, with everything that means from the political, cultural or economic point of view. The geographical situation has determined that there are specific characteristics in each of the regions. On the other hand, being the result of a plural society, its manifestations also vary according to the cultural load contributed at any moment. Another factor has been the incorporation of the different systems and construction techniques typical of each era. |
