This fascinating documentary delves into the cultural and architectural influences that invading civilizations have brought to Spain throughout the centuries. Take a journey through Spain's most spectacular icons of the past dating to Roman, Moor and Christian influences. The ancient Roman ruins found in Merida and Segovia are some of the best preserved in Europe. When the invading Roman armies conquered the Iberian peninsula they brought with them a network of roads, bridges, buildings and great soaring aqueducts. Ruins from these structures remain preserved today. The Moors who invaded the peninsula five centuries later, created elaborate citadels, mosques and palaces. Examples of the Moors influence can be found today in many locations across Spain including the city of Sevilla. These were structures where color, light and space combined in ways unseen in earlier Romanesque buildings. The Moors also established the cultivation of Saffron, which to this day, is the most precious spice in the world. Viewers will visit the Castilla La Mancha region of Spain where Saffron is grown. Nearly 90 of the more than 500 castles built by the Moors during the Middle Ages remain intact today spread throughout the Spanish countryside. Others have crumbled to the ground as remnants and ruins from the great battles between the Christians and the Moors. Gothic architectural style was introduced as the Christian armies of northern Spain moved south. Gothic cathedrals like the ones visited in Leon and Toledo have always been, and remain, some of the most dramatic forms of architecture ever created. Discover Spain's history through the exploration of this ancient region's castles, cathedrals and ruins…an inheritance from the past and a legacy for the future. 521 8 Not rated. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 651 0 Spain|xDescription and travel. 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 710 2 hoopla digital. 830 0 Discoveries--Spain. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11677188|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bwh_hd14_180.jpeg
