 Mudéjar did not involve the creation of new structures (unlike Gothic or Romanesque), but reinterpreting Christian styles through Islamic and Jewish influences.The dominant geometrical character, distinctly Islamic, emerged conspicuously in the accessory crafts using cheap materials elaborately worked – tilework, brickwork, wood carving, plaster carving, and ornamental metals.Even after the Muslims were no longer employed, many of their methods and decorative styles continued to be applied to Spanish architecture.
