Moorish revival

IMAGINE going back to the 13th and 14th century, the peak of Moorish architecture, which traces its roots from the Ottoman Turks, to Islamic countries in Africa and finally back to Europe in the Andalusia region of Spain.

This highly influential architectural style remains famous and has inspired many places of interest all over the world.

Communities Philippines, a pioneer developer in bringing world class homes to the countryside, brings this diverse style closer to home with one of its most recent real estate development in Pampanga appropriately called Andalusia.

Andalusia is an eight-hectare master planned community ideally situated in San Fernando Pampanga’s vast and beautiful countryside, offering its residents a lifestyle that promotes wellness and tranquility.

The Moorish-Hispanic themed homes found in this community are characterized by their horse-shoe shaped arches, large windows, intricately carved surfaces supported by Moorish Columns like those found in the Mezquita, Cordoba.

This gives the homeowners the feeling of walking through the charming streets of this beautiful region, the same place which inspired the likes of Baroque master Diego Velázquez, poet Federico Lorca and the great Pablo Picasso.

Andalusia’s exclusive amenities like the clubhouse, swimming pool, courtyards and fountain parks complete total lifestyle experience.

Communities Philippines is a subsidiary of Vista Land, the country’s largest homebuilder, continues its vision to give Filipinos a place they can call home all over the country.
