The Three Cultures Foundation hosts the exhibition 'Andalusian Architecture. Spaces and views'

The Three Cultures Foundation presents 'Andalusian Architecture. Spaces and views', a photographic exhibition coordinated and produced by the Andalusian Public Foundation The Andalusian Legacy, which covers the different spaces in our surroundings that evoke our Andalusian past.

The eight centuries of the history of al-Andalus have left their mark on numerous aspects of life in the Iberian Peninsula: our language, our customs and traditions, our literature, our art...

Andalusian architecture, with numerous examples from all its periods, from the Omeyan to the Nazari periods, from the 8th to the 15th century, forms part of our everyday landscape and continues to fascinate and attract our gaze, as it has done throughout the ages: from the new Christian dwellers who, far from destroying, preserved and maintained in many cases, and even continued to build using the Andalusian models, to the romantic travellers who, from the 18th century onwards, began to visit our lands attracted by the 'exoticism' of our Andalusian past, and of course ourselves.

The exhibition 'Andalusian Architecture. Spaces and views' is a journey through some examples of this past, so present in our space, through around 30 large-format photographs. From south to north, from east to west, it shows these spaces inhabited in al-Andalus: citadels and castles, walls, towers, palaces, mosques, minarets, baths, cisterns, water cisterns... Numerous spaces that are part of our environment and that evoke the Andalusian past.

The photographs in the exhibition, owned by the Andalusian Public Foundation The Andalusian Legacy, range from spaces located in small towns or rural architecture, isolated from urban spaces, to the great architectural monuments of the time, such as the mosque of Cordoba, the Giralda or the Alhambra. All the images are accompanied by an explanatory sheet.

Together with these photographs, the exhibition is enriched with models of buildings or decorative architectural elements, as well as old albumen prints, lithographs, drawings and original engravings from the 19th century of some of these buildings, providing valuable information about them and at the same time showing the powerful attraction they have always aroused in their visitors, and which they continue to arouse in us.

Invitations to attend can be obtained at THIS LINK.

The exhibition can be visited until 12 May 2022, Monday to Thursday, from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm; and Fridays from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.

Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
