17th Century Jesuit On Arquitecturamestiza

Arquitecturamestiza—Used during the late 17th century by the Jesuit Ignacio Alcina to describe houses built partly of wood and partly of stone in the Visayas that combine both Philippine and Spanish elements in both architecture and construction. This is a better term than “Spanish house” to designate this mixed style that was common throughout 18th- and 19th-century Philippines.
