Founded by the Phoenicians with the name of Xera, during the Middle Ages it was a site of border incursions as it was at the limit of the Kingdom of Granada, which was under Muslim control. When the Catholic Monarchs conquered it, it was already known for the excellence of its wines. The creation of its own breed of horse, the Cartujana, also belongs to the Middle Ages. It is named in honour of the Carthusian monastery of Santa María de la Defensión in Jerez. Its monks were the ones who created and bred this variety for centuries until, after Mendizábal's church land sales, the breeding of horses passed to the region's livestock farmers. Muslim inheritance. Jerez de la Frontera's Arab past is clear in its walls, the Fortress and the Mosque. The latter is today the chapel of Santa María la Real. The Almohad origin (12th C.) of the building can be seen in the octagonal towers. Among other rooms, the Fortress has bathrooms, covered with vaults in which skylights were opened. The tower of Villavicencio palace, a Baroque building forming part of the monumental site, has a camera obscura from which you can make out the whole city.The city's main Christian symbol, the Cathedral, is very close by. Standing on the site of a mosque, the former collegiate church of San Salvador combines Baroque and Neoclassical elements in its structure. The tower maintains Mudejar influences. Inside, we can admire works by Zurbarán. On the other side of the Fortress is the square and church of San Miguel, a beautiful open space surrounded by orange trees. Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles have created a special composition, finished off by a notable main reredos.Once you have passed the Plaza del Arenal, the next landmarks are the Municipal Meeting Rooms and City Hall, the Mudejar looking church of San Dionisio (patron saint of the city), and the Convent of San Francisco, which has a 13th century cloister. The oldest part of this area, surrounded by the old walls, has valuable examples of religious and civil architecture, like the churches of San Mateo and San Lucas and the Riquelme and Permantín palaces This former residence of the local aristocracy is nowadays the Andalusian Flamenco Centre. This is a good place for getting to know more about this art, of which Jerez is a master, through its audiovisual facilities, specialised library, and recording library. Not far away lies the district of Jerez with the greatest flamenco tradition, Santiago. Among the whitewashed houses there are many flamenco clubs and brotherhoods, whose members venerate the images preserved in the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de la Merced (patron saint of the city) and in the church of Santiago. Its Gothic layout with Renaissance and Baroque elements houses the Cristo del Prendimiento (Arrested Christ), the popular Prendi, whose procession on Wednesday of Easter week is accompanied by deeply felt saetas (flamenco songs). On the way to Jerez' most important shopping streets stands the Convent of Santo Domingo (with Mudejar décor and nerve vaults in its cloister, which is used as an exhibition hall), and the Baroque style Domecq Palace. Wine cellars and horses. Another way of getting to know the culture of Jerez is visiting its numerous wine cellars, where the wines of the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry y Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda Denomination of Origin are made. Here we can get to know both the traditional and modern winemaking methods and taste the different types of Jerez wine. The unusual architecture of this temples to wine is also outstanding. You can enjoy cellars designed by Gustav Eiffel (González Byass' La Concha), structures with more than 4,000 iron arches (Domecq's Gran Bodega), or the Bodega del Tío Pepe, Andalusian Historic Heritage for being representative of the Docomomo Modern Movement.
