Churrigueresque

Churrigueresque is a word that describes a type of fancy and decorative style of architecture and art that was popular in Spain and its colonies in the 1600s and 1700s.

Think of it like decorating a cake with lots of frosting and fancy designs, but instead of a cake, it is a building or a piece of artwork.

The Churrigueresque style includes lots of curvy lines, swirls, and decorative elements like flowers, leaves, and cherubs. It often uses a lot of gold and silver to make everything look even fancier.

This style was created by a family of artists called the Churriguera family, and they became very famous for their elaborate and ornate designs.

So, in short, churrigueresque is all about making things look extra fancy and decorative.
