Neo-Mudéjar

Nineteenth-Century Revival and Eclectic Architecture

Neo-Mudéjar is a type of Moorish Revival architecture practiced in the Iberian Peninsula and, to a lesser extent, in Ibero-America. Emerging as a revival of the historic Mudéjar style, it was an architectural trend of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that began in Madrid and Barcelona and spread to other regions of Spain and Portugal, using Mudéjar elements such as the horseshoe arch, arabesque tiling and abstract brick ornamentation on the facades of modern buildings.

The work belongs to the orientalist style, similar to Neo-Mudéjar architecture, although interpreted in Gaudí's own personal way, with a uniqueness that only he knew how to add to his projects.
