| Page Views: 525 Last Visit to Vejer de la Frontera: May, 2006 | A STRONG MOORISH CHARACTER by LoriPori - last update: Jun 2, 2006 |
BLEND OF MOORISH, VISIGOTH & MUDEJAR STYLES Saturday, May 13, 2006
Perched high above the steep gorge of the River Barbate and the surrounding countryside, the old town of VEJER DE LA FRONTERA has an abundance of historical monuments. The Castle, turreted medieval walls, minaret of the old mosque, churches and convents, are a blend of Moorish, Visigoth and Mudejar styles.
Entering the upper part of the village through the original Moorish gates, you will see that Vejer has a strong Moorish character ( occupied by Moors up to 1250 ) and a maze of narrow, cobbled streets.
Hans and I , along with Carmen and Stace stopped here on our way to the Coast and Tarifa. Vejer is in Cadiz Province and is southwest of Jerez and northwest of Tarifa. |
|  | IGLESIA DIVINO SALVADOR The Parish Church of the Divine Salvador or IGLESIA PAROQUIAL DIVINO SALVADOR was constructed during the 14th century on the site of an old mosque. The front of the Church is Visigothic while the remainder is Mudejar. Santuario de Nuestra Senora de la Oliva is a local chapel which houses a 16th century carved image of the Virgin Mary |

I love those small Spanish towns like that, and the Moorish walls are especially impressive there. | Kuznetsov_Sergey Thu Dec 27, 2007 18:01 UTC
Shure it looks like an attractive place to visit next time. Thanks Lori for sharing! | Diana75 Tue Jan 9, 2007 16:13 UTC

I was lucky to visit Vejer de la Frontera and I liked this place a lot (and some local wine :-). Great photographs and descriptions as your usual! |
