  • Watching Mardi Gras highlights on TV every year, the first thing I notice is the Spanish Architecture with balconies of Bourbon Street. The facades of Bourbon Street remind me heavily of the old villages of Castille in central Spain.

  • Y hay que tener en cuenta que durante los cincuenta años que Nueva Orleans fue española, la ciudad se modernizó asombrosamente (alumbrado de gas, canales, diques de contención, obras portuarias, policía municipal, guardia nocturna, prensa diaria...). España hizo un buen trabajo en Nueva Orleans manteniendo y preservando las distintas identidades culturales de la ciudad y eso se agradece ahora en el presente con una de las ciudades más bellas (para mí la más hermosa) de Estados Unidos.

  • Los españoles fueron lo suficientemente respetuosos como para salvaguardar el estilo de los edificios que habían construido los franceses, cosa muy loable (en 1788 y en 1794, el Cabildo español impuso el adobe o ladrillo como material de construcción de inmuebles en la ciudad, con lo que ésta fue adquiriendo su peculiar aspecto)

  • @BarcelonaSpain100 Hey the reason that the old town of New Orleans is called the French Quarter and not the Spanish Quarter, is because the French did build it, but there was a great fire at the time when the Spanish owned Louisiana, and the Spanish rebuilt it with Spanish buildings. Hope that helps. I am a Spanish descendant of Louisiana.

  • The so called Spanish architecture is actually Muslim influenced. And most of the cast iron work was done by west Africans who knew how to do it. The Spanish had very little real influence on Louisiana's architecture.

  • And they called it "french quarter" thats sad...can you say ungrateful?¿

  • States of Florida, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, California, Nevada or Texas were the territories of new spain from XVI to XVIII centuries.
