Few places showcase architecture as dramatically and holistically as Spain or Portugal. Journey through the Iberian Peninsula and explore its fascinating multicultural landscape, from the Visigoths, Romans, and Celts to centuries of Moorish domination, then through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, Romanticism, Modernism, and the present. 

Begin in Lisbon, Portugal, then head to Spain and stop in Caceres and the capital city of Madrid, ending in the cosmopolitan seaside city of Barcelona. Experience first-hand how we have shaped and been shaped by our environment and what lessons the past has for modern life.
