This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...arabesques were recklessly sacrificed.

It is entered by three ogival doors, and is divided into three naves. To the left of the fagade is a graceful tower, the first storey of which is Moorish, ornamented somewhat after the style of the Giralda.
