Ever since we had a discussion about this some months ago, I've been making a mental collection of some of the architectural oddities that can be seen around the city.
I have to go back and take a second look - and possibly also a photo - at what looked like an English-style terraced house on Avenida Jose Contreras (somewhere between Churchill and Av. Italia I think it was).
Then there's the stone building in Zona Universitaria which looks like a replica of a typical Palestinian house. Gazcue is quite a good place for spotting some eccentricities, like the house with the treebranch effect balcony near the national palace, and the moorish palace complete with mini-minarets, also near the palace. (The Palace itself is a testament to delusions of grandeur and megalomania, but that's a topic in itself.)
Can anyone come up with any more?
