This is going to be a great series, I really enjoy listening to you and your knowledge and experience regarding architecture and it’s history…… 👍

I was just in the south of Spain, Andalusia, and the architecture done by the Muslims is absolutely beautiful. The geometric shapes they integrate into there work is stunning. Thank you for sharing this gem in Arizona.

Absolutely agree. One day I’d like to see the Hagia Sophia in Instanbul (once Constantinople!).

I see this mission shining bright off the I19 whenever I make the drive to Mexico. Think I will retire in that Green Valley area

What a fantastic video Gary !! Your understanding, passion, and ability to present historical architecture is an amazing treat for those of us that are intrigued by the history of architecture and it's fine design elements. What a great First Stop!!

I’ve been to many of the California missions and this one is very similar. Beautiful. Thanks for posting. For those of us who haven’t done your travels, please tell us where you are when you make your videos.

Beautiful shrine. Gary will you include the physical addresses for your visits? Looking forward to enjoying your journey.

I’m glad you enjoyed it Roy! This was a difficult video to shoot and edit. The first I’ve done on my old laptop in my van.I’ll try and make the next ones shorter and easier to finish! Took me two weeks to upload this! And in the future, I’ll put the address in the description for every location. But for now…here’s

[@THISisCarpentry]

The address: 1950 W San Xavier Rd, Tucson, AZ 85746. About ten miles outside

[@THISisCarpentry]

0:00 He is in America right? 4:39 Flying buttresses are nice. 4:48 Val-lutes? Those are for decoration but probably have some meaning. 8:48 Pediments are cool. I think you are right about the location for the cross. 9:32 Islamic culture preserved the learning for the foundation of the Greeks--news to me but somethings are lost to translation, :)

Interesting
