Iglesia de San Juan

Aragón


Not generally open to the public, but no matter…what makes this church interesting is the delineation of its architecture. On the semi-circular apse, you can clearly see the line where the builders in the mid-13th century switched from Romanesque grey stone to terracotta brick and finished the church in Mudéjar style – making this one of the earliest examples of Mudéjar architecture in Aragón.
