<p>MUD&Eacute;JAR ART: Islamic Aesthetics in Christian Art reveals the fascinating exuberance<br />
of a unique cultural and artistic symbiosis that characterises Christian Spain after<br />
the Reconquista. The Mud&eacute;jars were Muslims allowed to stay in the reconquered<br />
territories. Their artists and artisans strongly influenced the culture and art of the new<br />
Christian kingdoms. In Aragon, Castille, Extremadura and Andaluc&iacute;a sumptuously<br />
decorated brick churches, monasteries and palaces illustrate perfectly the creative<br />
endurance of Islamic forms in Christian art between the 11th and 16th centuries in<br />
Spain.</p><p>Thirteen Itineraries invite to discover 124 museums, monuments and sites in Madrid,<br />
Guadalajara, Saragossa, Tordesillas, Toledo, Guadalupe and Seville (among others).<br />
