Spanish Renaissance

The Spanish Renaissance took place during the 16th century and was most definitely one of the biggest highlights of the Spanish history. The Italian Renaissance also played a role in influencing the Spanish. This is why it may be difficult to distinguish between the to. Although there are things that set them apart, the are still extremely similar. Spanish architecture was full of life, color, and geometrical elements. It's without a doubt, a sight to see. For example, the Alhambra's fountains, garden full of flowers, and dynamic reflective pool are all extremely beautiful. There were also three styles of the Spanish Renaissance. The Plateresco phase that took after the work of a silversmith, the Desornamentado phase, and the Herrera Style.

Here's a few pictures that I enjoyed looking at during this time...
