Neo-Mudéjar
Neo-Mudéjar is a type of Moorish Revival architecture practised in the Iberian Peninsula and to a far lesser extent in Ibero-America. This architectural movement emerged as a revival of Mudéjar style. It was an architectural trend of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that began in Madrid and Barcelona and quickly spread to other regions in Spain and Portugal. It used Mudéjar style elements such as the horseshoe arch, arabesque tiling, and abstract shaped brick ornamentations for the façades of modern buildings.[1]
History
_10.jpg)
The first examples of Neo-Mudéjar buildings were the
Antoni Gaudí i Cornet.[2] The style then became almost "compulsory" for the construction of bullfight rings all around Spain, Portugal and the Hispanoamerican countries. In Madrid it became one of its most representative styles of the period, not only for public buildings, like the Aguirre School or the bullring of Las Ventas
, but also for housing. The use of cheap materials, mainly brick for exteriors, made it a popular style in new neighborhoods.
Neo-Mudéjar was often combined with
Plaza de España (Seville)[3] or the ABC newspaper headquarters (Madrid) are examples of this new style that combined traditional Andalusian
architecture with Mudéjar features.
