Mudejar or Spanish
Moorish art
There are many churches in
Spanish Moorish Mudejar
art style in the north of the
province of Valladolid. As
an example we can mention
the church of Santa María de
Arbás in Mayorga. Declared
to be an Artistic Historic
Monument, it is one of the
best examples of Mudejar
art in the district. The building
with its two naves was
built in the fifteenth century
with a door that opens in a
horseshoe arch.
