The regions of Castilla–La Mancha and Extremadura feature important examples of Mudéjar art, from Toledo, the centre of the Mudéjars, whose models influenced the art and architecture of the neighbouring regions, to the monuments of Extremadura, revealing religious and civil Mudéjar art in the cities and fortified monasteries, deeply influenced by Almohad art, by Gothic art and by the Military Orders that governed the border between Christian and Muslim reigns during the 13th century. From the Monastery of Guadalupe and Granja de Mirabel to the cities of Llerena and Zafra can be discovered the typical Mudéjar traces of Extremadura, based on strong and sober structures, which conceal beautiful cloisters, gardens and ornamentation.
