xv! XVI XVI N l XQAQ AN' AWN HE SPANISH conquerors of the New World were much like o the crusaders in spiritg for they vanquished the native races of America in the name of God, and strove to con- quer the heathen under the banner of the cross. The Spaniards, fired with zeal of conquest, destroyed temples, demolished idols, and razed pyramids which had taken o Q centuries for completion. A reconstruction period fol- lowed in which the passion for erecting churches, con- vents, schools, colleges, and priestly residences replaced the one for destruction that had been so predominant in the first quarter of a century just after the conquest. Architects from Spain, and native masterbuilders, were employed to work under direction of the priests. The architecture of this first colonial period was greatly affected by Indian ideas, since the workmen were allnatives, who were left to a large extent to work out 'their own ideas, due to the fact that the Spaniards and Indians could not con- verse in a common language. These earlier structures are a curious admixture of Gothic, Renais- sance, Moorish and native American styles. They are plain and unpre- tentious when compared with those that followed, but dignified and inter- esting. About them still clings that mysterious atmosphere that the In- dian workman gave to all he touched in the years following the conquest when his ancient traditions were still vividly alive. , San Augustin Acolman as 'fs AN? 1:90 U si if 2 if if Iomfa OIXADX
