Arches and tiles
Spanish architecture encompasses building styles developed in Spain and its former colonies, marked by thick walls, interior courtyards, red clay roof tiles, ornate ironwork, and decorative ceramic tiles.
Moorish influence appears in horseshoe arches and intricate geometric patterns.
The style spread throughout Latin America and the American Southwest, where Spanish colonial and Spanish revival buildings remain common.
