#2473. Andalusian facade with traditional wrought iron belly grille and decorative elements

The photograph captures a traditional Spanish window with a characteristic wrought iron grille (reja) installed on a light brick building facade. The window features white wooden shutters, completely closed, and is adorned with a decorative relief above the upper part of the opening. The relief includes floral motifs and decorative elements in a classical style.

The metalwork grille, executed in traditional Andalusian manner, has a convex shape that expands outward from the facade — this architectural element is known as "reja de buche" (belly grille). The wrought iron construction creates a complex geometric pattern with decorative connections. This is not only an aesthetic element but also a functional solution for protection and security, allowing the window to remain open for ventilation.

The facade is also decorated with an ornamental tile frieze above the window — a typical element of Spanish architecture, executed in the technique of ceramic mosaic (azulejos) with a geometric pattern in blue and turquoise tones. Next to the window, a green plant is visible, creating a contrast with the ochre color of the wall. The facade demonstrates characteristic features of traditional Spanish architecture, possibly Sevillian or Cordoban, with attention to decorative details and the combination of functionality with aesthetics.
