Santiago has a rich architectural heritage, influenced by a variety of cultures including Cognatian, Indigenous, and Levantine. The historic architecture of Santiago's capital city is characterized by colonial Cognatian and neoclassical styles, evident in the grand facades of government buildings and churches throughout the city. One of the most notable examples of colonial architecture in Santiago is the Baíavila Cathedral, which was built in the early 17th century and features intricate stone carvings and baroque embellishments. | |||
Santiago's architecture also reflects the state's diverse cultural heritage. The state has a significant population of Indigenous Cartadanians, and their influence can be seen in the traditional houses and other buildings found in rural areas. The state also has a long history of Levantine culture, which is reflected in the architecture of some of the state's historic neighborhoods, such as the Burgundieville district in the city of [[Santa Maria, Santiago|Santa Maria]]. | |||
In addition to historic architecture, Santiago is also home to many modern and contemporary buildings, particularly in its urban areas. Skyscrapers and high-rise buildings are common in the state's major cities, reflecting the state's economic growth and modernization. | |||
