Tonight I was watching an episode of "The Burns & Allen Show". At the end George and Gracie come out and do a Vaudeville routine; Gracie talks about her family. She was from San Francisco. And she mentioned a niece who had gone to Mission High School.

In the Wikipedia article, they call the big dome a "baroque dome." I wouldn't call it a dome and I wouldn't call it baroque. I think it would be better characterized as a Moorish tower.

I think it is supposed to be this style

So it is baroque. I always think of countries like France, Italy, Germany when I think of baroque. It only stands to reason that Spain would have had its own flavor of baroque architecture.

Interesting building. (Is the rather similar tower behind and to the left part of the same complex or entirely separate?) I think to be pure churrigueresque the windows would not be embedded within the decoration or would appear merely as spaces. The belfry itself looks more rustic-classical, I think it is called Gibbsian in English architecture. Were the bells meant to be hung within the space created by the arches or in the storey above with the oculi? I think it is fair to call the roof a "dome", just not a very big one. Was there originally a different design? It does not look well integrated.
