What are the characteristics of Spanish style?

Spain has a unique history. Earlier, with the prosperity of the Roman Empire, it was ruled by Romans and Goths for more than 1000 years. Later, with the expansion of the Arab Empire, from the 8th century to15th century, several Muslim dynasties appeared in Spain, and they were once "Iraqis". /kloc-After 0/5th century, it returned to the Christian world and became "Christian Spain". In this historical process, Christian culture and Muslim culture infiltrated and merged with each other, forming a pluralistic, mysterious and peculiar Spanish culture.

Art comes from culture, and the unique cultural background breeds Spanish art characterized by pluralism, mystery and strangeness. In modern times, Spanish artists, represented by Picasso, formed the middle of impressionist art, and their works of art were contrary to the traditional artistic principles, starting from their personal senses and forming pictures through simple geometric figures. This artistic tradition was fully reflected in the closing ceremony of 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

Architectural inspiration comes from art, and Gaudi is a master of modern architecture in Spain. His "Butler Apartment" and "Sagrada Familia Barcelona" are the greatest buildings in Spanish history, attracting millions of people from all over the world to worship every year. Through these two works, Gaudi exaggerates Spain's diverse, mysterious and peculiar cultural and artistic traditions with modern architectural techniques.

However, throughout the history of architecture, classical styles include ancient Greek and Roman styles characterized by colonnade modeling, such as the Acropolis and the Pantheon in Rome; Gothic style characterized by dome shape, such as Notre Dame de Paris. Modern style, including early buildings characterized by steel, such as Eiffel Tower; Modernist architecture characterized by geometric patterns, such as Savoi Villa in Corbusier, Flowing Water Villa in Wright, United Nations Headquarters, World Trade Center in New York, etc. Post-modernist architecture characterized by composite modeling, such as Portland City Hall in the United States; Deconstruction architecture characterized by fracture, distortion, disorder and movement, such as the Gogenham Museum in Spain.

Among these classic architectural styles, we have never seen an independent "Spanish style", let alone a famous "Spanish villa" like Savoi Villa in architectural history. Gaudi is a world-renowned Spanish architect, but he did not create the so-called "light of Spain".
