The presence of geometric figures and elements in different monuments located in some cities of Andalusia is more popular than we think because Geometry is an important part of our lives and culture even if we do not notice it.
TYPES OF ELEMENTS
Archs
There are plenty of elements that we can find in some of the most important monuments of our cities like arches, mosaics and friezes. We all know a really good example of arches and the ones that have horse shoe shape, which means that it is formed by semicircles (and even bigger than semicircles) and columns.
Cordoba can give us a great monument that includes these arches in multiple ocasions like in the Mezquita of Cordoba (left picture) which has an important cultural heritage from the Muslim and Islamic culture. We even have some examples in Seville, in the Real Alcazares (right picture). This means that our location has a lot of cultural elements that we must preserve and take care of.
Mosaics and friezes
From important monuments to the wall of your own kitchen, mosaics decorate wall and floors all over
Andalusian's surfaces. There are multiples types which include teselations, rotations and so on, which allow us to make so many different patterns that create incredible drawings and really interesting colorful borders.
Some of them recreate plants, stars, squares and even stripes, some of them even mix the patterns to came up with the most stunning examples:
