The plateresque style, originating in Spain, is a stunning architectural marvel that can be witnessed in various historical sites across the country and even beyond. One such remarkable example is the plateresque facade of the University of Salamanca, located in Salamanca, Spain. As the third oldest university globally, this institution proudly showcases its intricate design and craftsmanship through its ornate facade. In Mexico City's San Angel Historic District, you will find another gem showcasing plateresque architecture - the Casa de Cisneros and Statue of Admiral Don Alvaro de Bazan in Plaza de la Villa. These structures beautifully capture the essence of this unique style with their elaborate detailing and grandeur. Moving back to Spain, we encounter yet another masterpiece - the main facade of New Cathedral in Salamanca's Castile and Leon region. This awe-inspiring structure exemplifies plateresque elements at their finest. Its intricate carvings and delicate ornamentation leave visitors mesmerized by its sheer beauty. Venturing further into Valladolid, we come across St Pablo's Facade - a true testament to plateresque artistry captured brilliantly in black-and-white photography. The attention to detail on every column speaks volumes about the skillful hands that crafted it. Stepping inside the Convent of Santo Domingo reveals more wonders as we admire a detailed column within its cloister made entirely out of stone. Each curve tells a story from centuries past while showcasing an exquisite blend of elegance and strength. Traveling beyond Spanish borders but still embracing Spanish culture brings us to Paris' Universal Exhibition of 1900 where we find The Spanish Pavilion adorned with elements inspired by plateresque architecture. It stands as a symbol not only for artistic excellence but also for cultural exchange between nations during that era. As dawn breaks over Salamanca once again, our gaze falls upon the north-west facade of New Cathedral.
