Photo and description

The Museum of Arab Art in the Talier de Moro Palace is located in Toledo, a few steps from another city attraction - the Palacio de Fuensalida. The building that houses the museum was built in the 14th century. Initially, this building housed workshops where city masons and other craftsmen worked, processing marble for the construction of the Cathedral of Toledo. Also, various construction and decoration materials used in the construction of the cathedral and other religious buildings were kept here. Subsequently, over the years, the premises of the palace were used for various purposes.

The building was erected in the Mudejar style. Many decorative elements dating back to the 14th century are well preserved in the interior. The ceilings are made of wood in Arabic style. The premises are interconnected by horseshoe-shaped arched doorways decorated with floral and leafy patterns. Experts say that the Talier de Moro palace resembles the famous Alhambra palace, especially in the arched openings, wooden ceilings and original plaster.

In 1963, the government bought this building and restored it to house a museum here ... Today, the museum contains a large collection of Arabian art from the 14-15th centuries. Here you can see fragments of Moorish ceramic tiles, decorative elements made of wood, tombstones, fragments of columns, Arab chests and much more.
