Neo-Mudéjar is a type ofMoorish Revival architecture practised in theIberian Peninsula and to a far lesser extent inIbero-America. Thisarchitectural movement emerged as a revival ofMudéjar style. It was an architectural trend of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that began inMadrid andBarcelona and quickly spread to other regions in Spain and Portugal. It used Mudéjar style elements such as thehorseshoe arch, arabesque tiling, and abstract shaped brick ornamentations for the façades of modern buildings.[1]

The first examples of Neo-Mudéjar buildings were theAguirre School designed by Rodríguez Ayuso,[1] the Plaza de Toros in Madrid built in 1874 (now demolished), and theCasa Vicens byAntoni Gaudí i Cornet.[2] The style then became almost "compulsory" for the construction of bullfight rings all around Spain, Portugal and the Hispanoamerican countries. In Madrid it became one of its most representative styles of the period, not only for public buildings, like the Aguirre School or the bullring ofLas Ventas, but also for housing. The use of cheap materials, mainly brick for exteriors, made it a popular style in new neighborhoods.
Neo-Mudéjar was often combined withNeo-Gothic by architects such asFrancisco de Cubas,Antonio María Repullés y Vargas andFrancisco Jareño. After theIbero-American Exposition of 1929 inSeville, another stream of Neo-Mudéjar features appeared known as Andalusian Architectural Regionalism. ThePlaza de España (Seville)[3] or theABC newspaper headquarters (Madrid) are examples of this new style that combined traditionalAndalusian architecture with Mudéjar features.
