I like the Spanish Colonial architecture in the Southwestern US.

It is nice. I like it a lot as well. It definitely has its own charm.

Kind of throwback to the Old World, even though very typical of Mexico, etc.

What's that amazing Montezuma 'palace' or whatever someplace in the Southwest? I think it's native American architecture, carved out of the rock.

PS: I didn't mean 'palace', I meant 'castle', even though it's not a castle in the strict meaning of the term.

[faroukfarouk]

it's not that belgium ever wanted or could possibly conquer an other european country
we were conquer ourselves most of the time

I know what you mean, but historically Belgium did want to annex the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in 1918/19, but did not succeed.

Belgium was more successful in annexing the Ostkantone, around Eupen and Malmédy after World War One, which had been part of Germany.

I cant say for sure but wasn't the Alamo used for military defense? Thats what castles were used for.

Sarah: Oh yes, you're right; but I was referring to the Montezuma place, actually.

There was an historic siege at the Alamo.
