Hispano-Muslim potters contributed glazing and its application to architecture in facades, floors, skirting boards and ceilings. Later, the Mudejar adopted oriental techniques that formed the basis of the local style. In this way, mosaics and tiles began to be made, predominantly hand-painted works with popular motifs. Surprisingly, today many of these ornaments continue to be the main protagonists in countless streets, buildings, patios and even small wineries or restaurants in our city.
