The architecture of Seville

This is the second part about my weekend getaway to Spain, the architecture. Since Seville is in Southern Spain, it has Arabic and Moorish influences (I'm reading up on the Moors right now, but all I can think of is the Bubble Boy episode of Seinfeld. "The Moors!" "No, it's Moops!")

In any case, when I think of Seville, I think mosaics, iron work, splashes of color, and bold church domes.


I'm loving the patina.


The front of Church of San Luis (S. XVIII)...

...And the dome in the back.

There are mosaics all over the city.


Very colorful houses.

This city really does get the best light.

Cool clock at the Alameda de Hercules.

What a gorgeous city.

Ciao!
