This book is the result of a research developed from bibliographic exploration, archives, historiographic analysis and field work, to unravel the emergence of picturesque buildings in the Republican architecture of the Caribbean coast, and to evaluate its rise between 1918 and 1930. Identified as Moorish houses by the nostalgia of the descendants who promoted them, one arrives - for the first time in the history of Colombian architecture - to a rigorous study on the presence of the Neo-Moorish style in these lands, but not before unveiling the dimension that reach the aesthetic concerns and aspects of Colombia's migrations.
