 I have long loved the artistry that is such a big part of Spanish architecture. The melding of different traditions brings a real vitality to the spaces within the buildings. Sometimes the exteriors are grand as well, while sometimes it is mainly on the interior.
This is the chapel in the Alcazar of Segovia. Note on the left the lattice-work screen. This was originally a privacy screen, mainly so the queen could observe services without being looked at by others in the chapel. I adapted this idea for one part of the story in Torremonte.

The other side of the screen, with a seven-year old for scale.
