The inner Mudéjar style ceiling details of the upper cloister at the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes or the Monastery of Saint John of the Monarchs in Toledo. Mudéjar is a fusion of Christian (Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance) and Islamic art created in the 12th to 16th centuries by the Muslims who remained in Christian territory after the gradual Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). The upper cloister, first completed in 1526 and restored in the 19th century, is made of larch wood and painted with the motifs and coats of arms of the Catholic Monarchs. (Sept. 17, 2021)
