I only meant that it reminded me of Spanish architecture.
And FYI I study historical swordsmanship with historically accurate weapons. One of my focuses has been the Destreza of Thibault and Narvaez - ie, Spanish rapier.

Prez, do you know the origin story of their iconic hats?
I got this pic on Isla del Sol/Lake Titicaca. Great hats, the angle at which they sit on one's head can tend to indicate the wearer's marital status. I don't think these bowlers come cheap.

Back in La Paz for a few days before heading to Argentina. Now a couple km from Plaza Murillo, going to walk that direction today to check it out. But not too close to any trouble...
