Google Search for "Sim Ayers". I can't wait until I can afford for him to build our chapel here in Guatemala. Spanish Colonial architecture and Medieval all mixed as one.

Just about every medieval cathedral has an octagonal baptismal and the Alhambra in Granada Spain has several octagonal ground plans. The roof over the Hall of the Abencerrajes is unique because the roof actually follows the Ad Quadratum ground plan that is used to develop the octagonal ground plan. Squares rotated in the circle.
