design/architecture from different countries

In the late 19th century, Ponce developed its own blend of Spanish Creole and neoclassical architecture called Ponce Creole. It is characterized by the use of Corinthian columns, wrought-iron balconies, stucco siding, arched entrances, and gas lamps. It was named Creole because it reminded some of New Orleans's French Quarter. The wealth from Ponce's sugarcane industry financed most of the elegantly ornamented buildings. this syle can also be seen in other South American countries. the style of architecture is also visible in some of our states such as Florida, Texas, and California.

There were several parts to a typical Roman bathing complex:

* Apodyterium – dressing room, where the bather’s clothing was stored in cabinets and guarded by a slave
* Palaestra – an outdoor courtyard where the bather exercised, swam, or played games
* Tepidarium – a warm pool
* Caldarium – a hot pool, similar to a modern sauna
* Frigidarium – a cold pool
