Mudéjar Ceiling

101
This 16th-c. wooden ceiling showcases intricate Mudejar design, a legacy of Islamic art in Christian Spain. Interlaced stars, geometric motifs, and gilded rosettes evoke the infinite and divine. Its presence in a colonial church reflects the cultural layering of Iberian, Indigenous, and Moorish traditions in Andean sacred architecture.
