About this title

Synopsis

From Aragon, Galicia, and the Basque regions in the north to the central cities of Madrid and Toledo, from the fabled Andalusian cities of Seville and Granada in the south to the Catalan capital, Barcelona, more than thirty enchanting and historically significant properties are visited in this landmark volume.

The lavish illustrations depict the wide range of design styles embraced by Spaniards over the centuries, reflecting the fascinating motifs of the numerous cultures that have contributed to the Spanish aesthetic. Imposing medieval castillos, fabulously detailed Moorish-influenced country casas, and beautifully furnished, art-filled city palacios are included in this tour of the country's grand and historic private residences and buildings
