Summary
The facade of the Capilla de San Miguel in Zaragoza, part of the Mudejar architecture of Aragon, reveals distinct geometric compositions between its Gothic windows and the ceramic and brick decoration. Using laser scanning and low-altitude photogrammetry, researchers found that the windows disrupt the continuous geometric modules typical of Islamic-influenced designs, suggesting a blend of Christian and Muslim architectural traditions. The study also links this structure to the ancient Aljama Mosque of Zaragoza and compares it with nearby Islamic architecture, such as the Aljafería Palace and Sijena Monastery, highlighting its historical significance in the transition from the Abbasid Caliphate to Al-Andalus.
