Mudéjar style ceiling of Iglesia de Santo Domingo, Quito, Ecuador
"Christian builders and craftsmen carried Mudéjar style elements to the overseas territories of the Spanish empire...The Mudéjar "style" in architecture is most accurately described as a “common visual language” rather than a cohesive structure with particular regulations. This led to Mudejar design themes in the New World to be considered purely a continuation of an architectural blend that was unique to Spain." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud%C3%A
