520			_a"Portuguese Architecture" by Walter Crum Watson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a comprehensive examination of the architectural landscape of Portugal, analyzing its historical developments and influences from various eras, particularly from the Roman period to the Renaissance. The author aims to foster a greater appreciation for Portugal's architectural heritage, which he believes has often been overlooked in comparison to that of neighboring Spain. The opening of the book establishes Watson's journey through the country over three consecutive years, highlighting his growing affection for Portuguese architecture and the rich history it represents. He begins by contrasting Portugal's buildings with those of Spain, noting that while Portugal lacks the grandeur often associated with Spanish churches, it is worthy of study due to its unique historical narrative. Watson mentions specific architectural elements, such as Roman and Moorish influences, and acknowledges the limitations of existing literature. He outlines his intention to inspire others to appreciate the distinctive architecture that reflects Portugal's historical achievements. This sets the stage for a deeper examination of the country's architectural evolution in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
