The '''Spanish Colonial Revival architecture''' ({{langx|es|Arquitectura neocolonial española}}), often known simply as '''Spanish Revival''', is a term used to encompass a number of [[Revivalism (architecture)|revivalist]] [[architectural style]]s based in both [[Spanish colonial architecture]] and [[Spanish architecture]] in general.<ref>Bailey, Gauvin Alexander. ''Art of Colonial Latin America'' (London: Phaidon Press, 2005): 402–405.</ref> These styles flourished throughout the [[Americas]], especially in former Spanish colonies, from California to Argentina.

In the [[United States]], the earliest use of this style was in Florida, Texas, and California. [[St. Augustine, Florida]] was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Florida's first governor.<ref name="Newcomb1990">{{cite book |last1=Newcomb |first1=Rexford |title=Spanish-Colonial Architecture in the United States |year=1990 |orig-year=1937 |publisher=Dover Publications |isbn=978-0-486-26263-5 |page=25 |url=https://archive.org/details/spanishcoloniala00newc/page/24/mode/2up}}</ref> The city had served as the capital of Florida for over 250 years when Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1819. By the late 1880s, St. Augustine was being developed by [[Henry M. Flagler]] as a winter resort for wealthy northern families. He built two grand hotels in the Mediterranean Revival and [[:Category:Spanish Revival architecture|Spanish Revival]] styles: the [[Ponce de Leon Hotel]] (Carrère and Hastings, 1882) and the [[Lightner Museum|Alcazar Hotel]] (Carrère and Hastings, 1887). These influenced the development of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. A few years later, at the [[Panama–California Exposition]] of 1915 in [[San Diego]], highlighting the work of architect [[Bertram Goodhue]], Spanish Colonial Revival was given further national exposure. The '''McNay Art Museum''', founded in 1954 in [[San Antonio]], is the first [[modern art]] [[museum]] in [[Texas]] was built in Spanish Colonial Architecture style. Embraced principally in Florida, Texas, and California, the Spanish Colonial Revival movement enjoyed its greatest popularity between 1915 and 1931.

In [[Mexico]], the Spanish Colonial Revival in architecture was tied to the nationalist movement in the arts encouraged by the post–[[Mexican Revolution]] government. The Mexican style was primarily influenced by the [[Baroque architecture]] of central [[New Spain]], in contrast to the U.S. style which was primarily influenced by the [[Spanish missions in the Americas|northern missions]] of New Spain. Subsequently, the U.S. interpretation saw popularity in Mexico and was locally termed ''colonial californiano''.

Modern-day tract home design in Southern California and Florida largely descends from the early movement. The iconic [[terracotta]] shingles and [[stucco]] walls have been standard design of new construction in these regions from the 1970s to present.
