Spanish Steps II

Found another print of the Spanish Steps in Rome. This is a sequel to an earlier post: http://eriklerouge.blogspot.com/2009/08/spanish-steps.html

It still looks basically the same, centuries later, only now there's more vegetation and everything's in color.













Also found this rough sketch layout of Santa Fe de Granada, Spain, founded circa 1491; showing the main street grid and central plaza, with Catholic church. This kind of plaza (or substitute circle/square) can still be found in many Latin American places, including in what is now the USA. You can see similarities in other places, too. In this case, a mix of Roman, Moorish and Spanish vernacular topped with (or dipped in) Catholicism. It's nifty-fifty . . .
