Veracruz - Mexico, Veracruz-Llave Some architects affirm that this is a Moorish motive (a style of architecture that we call Mudéjar in Spain, and in Spanish cities such as Teruel, Toledo or Granada you notice everywhere.)

Great shot! horourke - Jul, 23 2008 12:07pm This is a very interesting comment pointing to the deep embeddedness of Moorish culture in the Spanish experience which they clearly brought with them to their architecture in the new World. I think the shallow arch coming to a point at the centre is very evocative of Moorish influence here-i-come - Jul, 23 2008 06:07pm The smoothen stones or pebbles give the added guarantee as an endless destiny for its life as with its age shown by these arch corridors carefully designed to reflect a highly skilled era with the Moors. basia - Jul, 24 2008 03:07am This is great photo.
