Spain’s architecture reflects centuries of layered civilizations. Roman foundations, Moorish palaces, Gothic cathedrals, and modernist structures coexist across cities and towns. Intricate arches, decorative tiles, and stone courtyards reveal Andalusia’s Islamic influence. Historic centers remain active and lived-in, blending heritage with daily rhythm. Travelers walk through living history shaped by craftsmanship and artistic excellence.
