The design is characterized by stucco buildings (normally white) with red adobe roofs. Furthermore, the design is characterized by arcades connecting the buildings and beautiful courtyards and quads in-between buildings. I hope you enjoy the photos. Any comments, please E-mail me, .

Another noticeable aspect of this style are the bell towers. The bell towers tend to be very elaborate and covered with alcoves. Those alcoves were originally to hold statues of saints. However, in every building I have seen in this style, the statues are absent. Another noticeable aspect are the domes. The bell tower always ends in a dome and there are normally several other domes on buildings. These domes are normally brightly colored and are decorated with religious symbols. | ![]() A Court Yard |
