Abstract This contribution presents preliminary results of the research project Mudejarismo and Moorish Revival in Europe (2014–2018), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and based at the University of Zurich. By focusing on the appropriation of Hispano-Islamic architecture and ornaments in Christian and Jewish contexts, the seven sub-chapters examine the underlying exchange and transfer processes in the Middle Ages and the Modern period, in relation to the complex and multi-faceted phenomena of cross-cultural appropriation and hybridization, as well as the current debates on otherness and national identity.
