Urban projects, infrastructure systems, religious and civil buildings were built in a planned manner in a style in which the Islamic architecture, art, technique, aesthetic and delight was apparent in the direction of the desires of the royal family with whom the Christian Ideology was represented. These influences stretched until 19th century, and did not remain limited with the Spanish borders, and also stretched to South America and Mexico. The Islamic art of al-Andalus influence on the Christian Art in Spain between the 12th and 16th Centuries, which lasted nearly for 500 years, is called as the “Mudejar style” or as the “arte mudéjar” in the literature of History of Art. The Islamic influences on the Christian art being called as “Mudejar” were first introduced in 19th Century, and were interpreted as the “the Christian art that is specific to Spain”, which made Spain different from the other European countries. As of this period, the “Mudejar Style” brought with it many debates so far. Although the term “Mudejar” refers to the Muslims living under the rule of Christians, there are uncertain situations about the use of it in the History of Art. It is not clear in the literature whether “Mudejar Style” refers to a new style that emerged with the use of Islamic and Christian art being synthesized together, or refers to Islamic aesthetic characteristics in the Christian art. In addition, these uncertain situations are also observed in the terms “Mudejar city” and “the city ofMudejars”. In this review, the term “Mudejar” has been examined in etymological terms, and the use of the term “Mudejar” in historical literature has been revealed in a comprehensive manner. The concepts of “Mudejar Art” and “the city ofMudejars” in the literature of the History of Art have been examined in hypothetical terms; and the subject has been investigated in a critical approach. In the study, it has been observed that the terms “Mudejar” is a concept that is used to mean no more than referring to the Muslims, and the term “Mudejar Style” is the aesthetic style of the Islamic Culture in Christian Art itself.Fatma YILDIZFırat Universityarticlespain, islamic art of alandalus, the concept of mudejar, mudejar art, the city of mudejarSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 9, Iss 50, Pp 319-341 (2019)
