EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Lima, Peru - The Hippodrome: A Blend of Past and Present in Islamic/Moorish Architectural Splendor" 2.. The captivating image of Lima, Peru's Hippodrome, transports us back in time to the early 1910s, when the fusion of architectural styles created a breathtaking scene. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans/Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, showcases the remarkable islamic and moorish architectural influences that adorn the grandstand. The Hippodrome, a popular destination for horseracing enthusiasts, stands proudly against the Peruvian skyline. Its striking design, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Lima, seamlessly merges the past and present. The dome, reminiscent of a mosque or a grand European cathedral, dominates the scene, while the onion-shaped minarets add an unmistakable islamic touch. The Moorish style, which originated in Spain during the Islamic occupation, was a popular architectural trend in South America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This architectural influence can be seen in various buildings across Lima, reflecting the city's diverse history and cultural connections. The Hippodrome, with its grandeur and charm, serves as a reminder of Lima's unique architectural legacy. It is a testament to the city's ability to preserve its history while embracing the modern world. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to capture the imagination of viewers and offers a glimpse into Lima's fascinating past.
