SANMIGUEL MATEO, Agust\u00edn<\/b>: Torres de ascendencia isl\u00e1mica en las comarcas de Calatayud y Daroca<\/i>, CEB, Calatayud, 1998, Centro de Estudios Bilbilitanos, 57, 540 p., 356 il., 6 map., 17×24 cm. ISBN: 84-7820-391-5.<\/p>\n

Sinopsis<\/b>: Las torres mud\u00e9jares, herencia art\u00edstica del Islam, son, tal vez por su singularidad, lo m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1tico del patrimonio arquitect\u00f3nico aragon\u00e9s. En las comarcas de Calatayud y de Daroca, adem\u00e1s de concentrarse buena parte de estas torres, es donde se hallan la mayor diversidad estructural y decorativa, y tambi\u00e9n los ejemplos m\u00e1s antiguos. Se propone aqu\u00ed que quiz\u00e1 algunas de estas torres fueron edificadas como alminares, y que posiblemente parte de sus caracter\u00edsticas se deban a influencia oriental.<\/p>\n

Abstrat<\/b>: In the West of the Autonomous Community of Aragon (Spain), in the areas of Calatayud and Daroca, there are left numerous and important constructions, mainly castles and churches, which are legacy of the long presence of Muslim people in this land, not only from Islamic times (VIIIth to XIIth centuries), but also from Christian times (XIIth to XVIIth centuries).<\/p>\n

Only towers are studied here, specially those with a religious function, presently all of them church bell towers.<\/p>\n

Firstly, their characteristics, such as materials, structure and decoration are treated at large, secondly, they are analyzed individually, classified in several groups. Several towers not mentioned in generalist works are\u00a0 introduced, considering, also, the possibility that some of them be, partly at least, re-utilized minarets: in other words, that is before 1120, date in which the Christian conquest took place.<\/p>\n

In that case, against the commonly accepted idea, it would be very likely that many of the singular characteristic of Islamic ascent’s art in Aragon, which is known as \u00abAragonese mud\u00e9jar art\u00bb, be not a result of North African influence, from Almohade epoch (XIIth and XIIIth centuries), but rather Oriental, from Irani area, and from Abbasid, Buyid and, specially, Seldjucid epoch (IXth to XIIth centuries). Later artistic influence ot the Arab kingdom of Zaragoza in al-Magrib, is sufficiently proven, both for Almoravid and Almohade times.<\/p>\n

In any way -and though so far it is not possible to fix with absolute accuracy its chronolgy, which will in the future be determined with new methods- there is no doubt about the historical and artistic interest of these towers, emblematic testimony of the Islamic past of Aragon.<\/p>\n
