Notes	The Church of Saint Jorge, also called the Church of the Queen, was located in the southern wing of the Saint Isabel courtyard of the Aljaferia Palace. It is a pink decoration whose design draws a circle in the center, decorated with an Islamic flair, consisting of intertwined arches that form a star with eight branches. This circle is surrounded by eight other smaller stars molded in Gothic shapes, each with four-leaf noses. As material evidence, this rose decoration is the only trace of what it used to be as a small-scale church, with a single naves, crossed Gothic arches, and brick vaults with grooves resting on cornices bearing mottoes, and a footing that encircles the entire wall at the height of the beginning of the dome. In general, we accept that the church was built during the reign of King Pierre IV the Magnate (r. 1336-1387). In addition to its artistic value, the rose decoration gains its importance from its exceptional characteristic, as it is the only trace of one of the rare Mudéjar religious monuments built on royal initiative in Aragon. We have little information about the church because, as with all domesticated things, it did not attract the attention of the famous travelers who left descriptions of the places they visited. When they visited the Jafaria, they paid particular attention to the royal galleries, whether to Jerome Monserre at the end of the fifteenth century, Ococ, who accompanied Philip II in 1585, Ocos Medici, in 1668, and Antonio Pons, in the eighteenth century.
