Castilian Meseta Stone & Mudéjar
Spain · Castile
The austere stone and brick architecture of the Spanish central plateau — Mudéjar towers and Segovian Romanesque
Overview
Castilian Meseta Stone & Mudéjar is a regional architectural identity in Spain. Traditional architecture of Castile — the vast, arid central plateau (meseta) of Spain, defined by extreme continental climate and the Mudéjar architectural tradition (Islamic-inspired brickwork in Christian contexts). Segovia's Romanesque stone arcaded streets and the Mudéjar brick towers of Aragón and Toledo — two expressions of the Castilian plateau.
