Typical Architectonic Details from Antigua

A quick search for architectonic details throws beams, arches, baroque elements, Spanish-tile roofs, windows, doorways, et-cetera. Each an individual entry showing a distinct aspect or element of the colonial architecture of La Antigua Guatemala. In today’s photo I was able to capture several elements: the cupola, the window with its ironworks crate, the ojo de buey (bull’s eye) window, the Spanish-tile roof.

Somehow, I believe, the colonial architecture of La Antigua Guatemala is much more than the sum of its elements. What do you think?
