Mudejar Star This is an eight-pointed star, it has been and is used by many cultures and religions. It was known as Gadeiro, the name Plato invented to call the Gades (inhabitants of present-day Cadiz). It is also known as the star of Abderraman I, the first caliph of al-Andalus, who extended his popularity to the rest of the world. This eight-pointed star represents a radiant sun with eight rays, and is the original symbol of Andalusia. It was the symbol with which the Tartessian people, since remote times of the Neolithic, made offerings to the Sun and represented it with eight rays. Expansion In online the Tartessian-Turdetan period and during the centuries of Muslim occupation in the Peninsula, the first coins were minted with the eight-pointed star as a political symbol and as a decorative element. But it was in the Kingdom of Granada where it reached its maximum splendour, moving on to the decoration of buildings, engravings, jewelry, etc. The Mocarabs and Mudejars took the eight-pointed star all over the north of the Peninsula and the Muslims and Moors spread it throughout the Maghreb and the Middle East.
