Mudejar
Wall detail from the ancient Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca in Toledo, Spain. It was designed and decorated by Mudejar architects (defined as Moors working on Christian soil on non-Islamic buildings) as the Islamic influence is readily apparent. Its stylistic and cultural classification is not simple, because it was constructed in Christian territory in the Kingdom of Castile, by Islamic constructors, for Jewish use. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation of the three cultures who populated the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages.
