Neo-Mudejar 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 Mudejar 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 Mudejar elements such as the horseshoe arch, arabesque tiling and abstract brick ornamentation on the facades of modern buildings.
