Neogótico en Jalisco

Description:

In Mexico, the neo-Gothic current in architecture developed from the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth and spread throughout the country. In Jalisco we find the largest number of examples of this style, especially religious, but, as with other stylistic currents, in western Mexico local builders adapted and interpreted these influences. What are the characteristics of this movement? How was this style adapted regionally? What are the most emblematic buildings and where are they located? This book gives an account of these assets, important links in the architectural history of our country and messengers of a rich cultural legacy that is well worth knowing in order to appraise it. This volume is a pioneer in publications in Mexico on this subject and we hope it will serve as a tool to approach the Neo-Gothic in architecture, to identify it, understand it and awaken our interest in preserving it.
