Here are three classical images which I captured during my trip to Spain and Portugal:
First is the Medieval Avila Walls in Spain, started in 1090.
The second one is The Alcobaça Monastery, a Medieval Roman Catholic Monastery (associated with Benedictine orders) located in the town of Alcobaca, in central Portugal. It was founded by the first Portuguese King, Afonso henriques, in 1153, and maintained a close association with the Kings of Portugal throughout its history.
The Third one, I would like to invite you to a classical art exhibition at The Museo del Prado; the main Spanish national art museum, located in central Madrid. It features one of the world's finest collections of European art, from the 12th century to the early 19th century.
Impressively paved road and facades on those buildings
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie!! Welcome to 'Picture This'!! Good to see you taking part. Your three photos are perfect for the theme. Lovely shot of the Avila walls. The second shot, of the Alcobaca monastery, is my favourite. Classical Iberian architecture. Good shot of the Museo Del Prado to finish with.
ReplyDeleteahhhh very nice all three
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! I like the repetition in the top, the grandeur in the middle one and the last one for it's contents! :)
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful photos showing the spanish architecture. would love to visit the Prado.
ReplyDeleteGood perspective of the Medieval Avila Walls... typical Spanish, I would say. Excellent capture of the Portuguese Monastery... Madrid without the El Prado Museum would not be Madrid...
ReplyDeleteLoves them all Sophie. Well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shayna :)
DeleteLove the flow and curves of the first shot. Something rather special in being able to appreciate the different classical buildings ... great shots.
