Architecture of Spain (Hardcover)

An accessible look at the many regional styles of architecture in Spain, from Roman times to the present. Covering all regions of Spain, from Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum to Granada's Islamic palace of La Alhambra, and all periods of Spanish architecture, from the Roman aqueduct at Segovia to the modernistic German Pavilion in Barcelona, this volume examines 68 of Spain's most important architectural landmarks. Writing in a clear and engaging style, Lapunzina describes the features, functions, and historical importance of each structure. Besides identifying location, style, architects, and periods of initial construction and major renovation, the cross-referenced and illustrated entries also highlight architectural and historical terms explained in the glossary, and the book concludes with a useful listing of further readings. The volume also offers lists of entries by location and architectural time period, as well as a general bibliography, a subject index, and a detailed introductory overview of Spanish architecture. Part of the Reference Guides to National Architecture series, this book looks at Spanish architecture from all regions, and all periods of history.
