]]> The conquest of America by the Spanish led to the defeat of the warlike Aztec people by Hernán Cortés two years after his arrival in 1519, following an alliance with the Mayas. This type of small, round sculpture was characteristic of Aztec stone sculpture. The rigid posture, reminiscent of the hieratism of Egyptian civilisations and primitive Mediterranean enclaves, is one of its main features. It is interesting to note the characteristic clothing with a small piece of cloth covering the pubis, as well as the large, exaggerated earrings, which were sometimes accompanied by nose rings. During the ceremonies, these standard-bearers held a small banner in their right hand while they stood surrounded by various ornaments such as stones or flowers.

]]> 360º image of the exterior of the Palace of Carlos V in the Alhambra in Granada. An example of a Renaissance building in Spain built on the initiative of Charles V after his wedding in Seville to Isabella of Portugal in 1526. The original design was by Pedro Machuca. The square outer façade is structured around two floors with Doric-Tuscan and Ionic pilasters superimposed on top of each other, separated by an intermediate entablature. On the lower level there is a cushion wall with circular and quadrangular openings, and on the upper level the wall is not cushioned and there are lintelled balconies or balconies with triangular pediments. Unlike its more classical interior, its exterior is in a complex and irregular mannerist style.
