Latin America remained a European colony for centuries. For this very reason, Latina art, architecture, and tongues became so intertwined with Spanish and Portuguese traditions<\/a> that even now the contribution stands strong. Taking a tour across the Latin world is bound to attract you to its massively majestic architectural benchmarks. So, let us have a look at some of those spellbinding examples of amazing edifices that govern the landscape of Latin America and entice every tourist with its beauty.<\/p>\n

1. Julian\u2019s Church, Argelia<\/h3>\n

\"Julian\u2019s<\/p>\n

The church came into existence through the Gothic Revival movement as part of Roman Catholicism. The layered pointed arches and ornate decoration at the front are the shreds of evidence of its gothic beauty. The procured texture on the outside walls speaks of the local adaptative potential. Dedicated to Saint Julian, the church building comprises 2 aisles and one nave in the center with beautifully pointed pinnacles in the center originating out of the pointed arches. It is a wonderful white beauty.<\/p>\n

2. Palacio Cabanellas, Rosario<\/h3>\n

\"Palacio<\/p>\n

Constructed in the 1910s, this classic art nouveau assemblage inculcates horizontal and vertical build contrasts through curving lines, highlighting nature-derived lively elements like plants, leaves, buds, or vines. But this example is attached more to Catalan Modernisme where the revival of Catalan culture was valued and hence this palace was erected. It is a marker of internationally cloned modernistic elements with special emphasis on symmetry. It is a fine example of its kind.<\/p>\n

3. Church of Santa Maria de Loreto, Achao<\/h3>\n

\"Church<\/p>\n

This church is an early modern construct and functioned predominantly under Spanish administration, probably why it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gaining importance over time, it came to be viewed as a sophisticated wooden edifice even with one nave, though very expansive and high-ceilinged. It fancies some elements from the Muslim world of architecture that only a keen eye can catch!<\/p>\n

4. Casa del Marques de Valdehoyos<\/h3>\n

\"Casa<\/p>\n

The casa is an extensive colonial building that would give a kickstart to your explorative mind. The eccentric blend of colors and uncanny simplicity of the building is a marked representative of medieval to late-medieval Spanish homeland construction and traditions. The dark balconies of wood and contrast bring out the red hues perfectly. By the evening, the yellow lights fall on the walls popping out the old vibes and the dynamicity of old brick designs.<\/p>\n

5. Convento de Santo Domingo, Cartagena<\/h3>\n

\"Convento<\/p>\n

The Convent of San Daniel originated in the classic medieval era with a focus on the gothic style of architecture. Dramatic vaulted ceilings and stained glasses showing colorful glimpses from Jesus\u2019 life are significant markers. It also houses the holy figure of Christ of Expiration in wood. It is a huge convent, meaning there are possibilities for exploration and study of the development of Christendom across neighboring areas. It is a marvelous make of the strong heritage and historicity of Latin America that you must visit<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/h2>\n

Many colonial and historical buildings are the main attractions in their homelands and are used as museums too. Many are churches that have stood the test of time and become centers of mass movement. Indeed, the tour\u2019s object in focus will turn into an expedient of great education and enlightening experience. So, when you visit any of the Latin countries, do not forget to embrace the scintillating personality of the place through these tourist attractions. Enjoy your tour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
