Take a tour of Architecture of Aragon in Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

You will not find a better example of Mudejar architecture than in Aragon, Spain.

The roots of this architectural style lies in the socio-political environment prevalent in the country at that time.

Elaborate and svelte stonework with a number of domes and towers have been featured in these structures.

Glazed ceramic tiles with gorgeous motifs, wood carvings, sophisticated plasterwork are some of the features that can be seen in the monuments.

Since Spain was long ruled by the Muslims, Moorish architecture can be seen in many of the buildings here.

The square tower of Teruel or San Martín church tower was made with lovely colored tiles, glazed ceramic designing, and an impressive craftsmanship.

Aragon prides itself with its numerous historical monuments on UNESCO World Heritage List.
