This is a photo from inside the Casa Museo Árabe in Cáceres, and it beautifully recreates the atmosphere of a domestic Andalusí-Mudéjar home.
Horseshoe arch: The iconic Islamic architectural form, typical of Al-Andalus, especially from the 10th–12th centuries.
Brick vaulted ceiling: Practical for cooling and a hallmark of Mudéjar construction.
Ceramic plates on the wall: Decorative and functional, echoing Nasrid and Mudéjar traditions.
Metal objects and scale: Everyday domestic tools, showing how a family would have lived.
Lamps: Hanging lanterns in colored glass, inspired by Islamic designs.
Tiles (azulejos): Geometric patterns reflecting Islamic aesthetics of symmetry and infinity.
Earthen jars (tinajas): Used to store water, oil, or grains, very typical of both Muslim and later Christian homes in Extremadura.
The Casa Museo Árabe is located in the Judería Vieja, where Muslims, Jews, and later conversos lived after the Christian Reconquest (13th–15th centuries). The house is a reconstruction, but it is based on archaeological and historical evidence of how homes in Islamic Cáceres would have looked. It represents the daily life of Mudéjar families (Muslims living under Christian rule) before the eventual expulsion.
