Architectural description
Torre de la Iglesia de la Magdalena
On the outside, the decoration is similar to that of the towers of San Martín and El Salvador in Teruel. The walls are articulated with brick highlighted on the background creating wide panels as tapestries with multi-armed crosses forming rhombuses, mixtilinear arches and figure-of-eight loops.
Numerous pieces of glazed ceramic designed and elaborated specifically to apply them in architecture are incorporated, which by reflecting the changing light contribute to being an ornamental and conforming element.
“Ceramics is a modification of the spatial ensemble” M.I. Alvaro Zamora.
“Light acts as a shaper and determinant of structures. The architectural volumes lose weight, dematerializing the walls that, in Aragonese Mudejar architecture, incorporate the chromatic and shimmering impact of ceramics and the abstract decoration of highlighted brick, fluttering in pure luminous vibration” G.M. Borras Gualis.
