Mighty Mudéjar towers

Excellent

Zaragoza, and Aragon as a whole, is full of Mudéjar architecture. As you wander through Zaragoza, you'll see glimpses of distant towers that seem to recall the Koutoubia Mosque in Morocco more than a traditional European cathedral. One of these towers belongs to the Church of San Gil Abad, a Mudéjar-Baroque temple built in the 14th century.

While we couldn't visit the interior (an ornate, Baroque affair as I understand), the exterior really struck our attention and highlights the unique historical

And muticultural legacy that Spain has.
