Spanish

The Spanish Period was a fusion of Christian Spain with Moorish Art Termed Mudejar. During this time there was a great loss to the handicrafts and commerce of southern Spain. However, they did take great influence from the Italian Renaissance, as well as Early Christian, Medieval, and several others.
One of their buildings included the Alhambra, Granada which was the last of the Spanish palaces completed before the expulsion of the moors.












Eventually, this era entered the Plateresco Phase (Silversmith's style) which took on a Gothic or Renaissance construction style.
They also had a Desornamentado phase which was an unornamented style of architecture. It was characterized by its austerity and applied to court, ecclesiastical and public buildings.
Most of their interiors included iron grills for windows, and openings, ad was as iron handrails. Other features included colored tiles, painted and carved ceilings, and plasterwork.


















They also used a lot of walnut for furniture such as armchairs, benches, Vargueno, and tables.
