Photographs and architecture of Carabobo

I've always referred to the architecture of Valencia, Venezuela, as eclectic. Throughout its history, it has gone through countless architectural styles, some of which still exist today, while others remain as vestiges until the arrival of modernity. However, as we know, all of Venezuela has gone through a major crisis that halted progress in every sense, and architecture was certainly no exception. This resulted in structures that were never finished, or even buildings that seem stuck in a bygone era, like a grand ghost project.

But this variety is magnificent, and it's what I enjoy appreciating and photographing: capturing the harmony and form of these structures, from colonial and neoclassical buildings to those modern styles that no longer seem so modern due to the passage of time. Or perhaps those designs were ahead of their time, yet they still prevail as modern structures.

In any case, all of this is part of Valencia's architectural heritage, which, of course, isn't limited to these seven photographs. There are countless designs yet to be captured, but let's just say that these designs, with their beauty, their decay, and their harmony, are undeniably harmonious.

All photographs are my own.
