Exhibition 'Andalusian Architecture. Spaces and views'.

The Fundación Tres Culturas presents 'Andalusian Architecture. Espacios y miradas', a photographic exhibition coordinated and produced by the Andalusian Public Foundation El legado andalusí, 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 many 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 Umayyad period to the Nasrid period, 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 time: 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. Espacios y miradas' (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 and citadels, 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 municipalities 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.

Alongside 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 that they have always aroused in their visitors, and that they continue to arouse in us.

Opening: Thursday 10 March at 19.00 hours. Invitations to attend at THIS LINK.

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

Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
