    Spanish architecture has been influenced by various civilizations over centuries. Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans and Arabs all contributed distinctive architectural styles. The Romans brought functionality and practical designs using arches, vaults and decorative arts. Under Arab rule between the 8th to 16th centuries, massive development occurred in Spain, seen in fortresses like the Alhambra of Granada. Modernism emerged in the late 19th century and Valencian modernism had unique features. The 1960s was a period of economic boom in Spain characterized by rapid urban development like the vertical city of Benidorm with many new high-rise buildings.
