Morales clarified that each power must be independent.<a href="#cite_note-207">[203]</a> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px; height: 185px;"><a href="/wiki/File:LegislativoCentro.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="National Assembly of Venezuela building"><img alt="National Assembly of Venezuela building" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/LegislativoCentro.jpg/200px-LegislativoCentro.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/LegislativoCentro.jpg/300px-LegislativoCentro.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/LegislativoCentro.jpg/400px-LegislativoCentro.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3872" data-file-height="2592" /></a></div> <div class="gallerytext"><a href="/wiki/National_Assembly_of_Venezuela" title="National Assembly of Venezuela">National Assembly of Venezuela</a> <a href="/wiki/Palacio_Federal_Legislativo" title="Palacio Federal Legislativo">building</a></div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px; height: 185px;"><a href="/wiki/File:Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona,_Caracas.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="La Casona presidential residence in Caracas, now a museum"><img alt="La Casona presidential residence in Caracas, now a museum" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg/200px-Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="143" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg/300px-Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg/400px-Residencia_presidencial_La_Casona%2C_Caracas.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="2880" /></a></div> <div class="gallerytext">La Casona presidential residence in Caracas, now a <a href="/wiki/Museum" title="Museum">museum</a></div> </li> </ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Administrative_divisions">Administrative divisions</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/States_of_Venezuela" title="States of Venezuela">States of Venezuela</a> and <a href="/wiki/Regions_of_Venezuela" title="Regions of Venezuela">Regions of Venezuela</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg/220px-Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="253" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg/330px-Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg/440px-Localizador_Politico_de_Venezuela.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="534" data-file-height="614" /></a><figcaption>Map of the Venezuelan federation</figcaption></figure> Venezuela is divided into 23 states (estados), a capital district (distrito capital) corresponding to the city of Caracas, and the Federal Dependencies (Dependencias Federales, a special territory).

The Africans brought in many musical influences, especially introduction of the drum. The Spanish influence predominantes due to the colonization process and the socioeconomic structure it created. Spanish influences can be seen in the country's architecture, music, religion, and language. Venezuela was also enriched by immigration streams of Indian and European origin in the 19th century, especially from France. Most recently, immigration from the United States, Spain, Italy, and Portugal has enriched the already complex cultural mosaic.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Architecture">Architecture</h3></div> <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Ra%C3%BAl_Villanueva" title="Carlos Raúl Villanueva">Carlos Raúl Villanueva</a><a href="#cite_note-382">[378]</a> was the most important Venezuelan architect of the modern era; he designed the Central University of Venezuela, (a <a href="/wiki/World_Heritage_Site" title="World Heritage Site">World Heritage Site</a>) and its Aula Magna. Other notable architectural works include the Capitolio, the <a href="/wiki/Baralt_Theatre" title="Baralt Theatre">Baralt Theatre</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Teresa_Carre%C3%B1o_Cultural_Complex" title="Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex">Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/General_Rafael_Urdaneta_Bridge" title="General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge">General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge</a>. In Venezuela, <a href="/wiki/Prehistory" title="Prehistory">prehistoric</a> man began to build useful architecture from approximately 1000 BC to the 15th century AD, in the period known as the "Neo-Indian". Neo-Indian architecture consisted of incipient constructions, such as <a href="/wiki/Terrace_(earthworks)" title="Terrace (earthworks)">agricultural terraces</a> and vaults lined by stones, called mintoyes, which were used as tombs and silos for the storage of agricultural products. The Indo-Hispanic architecture is the one that begins to develop from the year 1498 AD.<a href="#cite_note-383">[379]</a> Venezuelan colonial architecture is built from the 16th century, when Venezuela began to be a dependent colony of the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Empire" title="Spanish Empire">Spanish Empire</a>,<a href="#cite_note-384">[380]</a> until 1810, when the process of Venezuelan independence began. The architecture of this period is characterized by its discreet modesty, with the exception of some cities. The explanation lies in the socioeconomic conditions of the <a href="/wiki/Country" title="Country">country</a>. Venezuela did not offer then to the colonizers the immense riches kept by nature for later times. The simplification of technical problems, the renunciation of most of the decorative elements and variegated ostentations of fanciful baroque, the impossibility of using <a href="/wiki/Cost" title="Cost">expensive</a> materials and the consequent lack of craftsmen, contributed to establish a modest but well-defined physiognomy of the colonial architecture of Venezuela. During the <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonial</a> period, there were eventually confrontations between the Spanish conquerors and the barbarians and pirates that sailed along the Venezuelan coasts, in order to take over the provinces located on the coasts of the country. <a href="/wiki/Christians" title="Christians">Christian</a> temples from the colonial era were constituted by an almost invariable, arrangement consisting of a rectangular plan, three naves separated by arches of alfarje roofing composed of religious architecture in colonial times. The Venezuelan society dedicated a great amount of resources to erect religious monuments comparable to those of other countries of the continent. The XVII century was of reconstruction of the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic churches</a> that had been destroyed by the earthquake of 1641.

The opposition said it had collected data from 73% of the country's voting stations on its own and compiled it in a publicly accessible database on Tuesday. Using their national identification, Venezuelans can sign in and review a scanned tally sheet from their voting station showing how many votes went to each candidate. ... 'I found mine, the proof is there,' said Celina Ramirez, an opposition supporter who said she was able to log into the website to locate the tally sheet from her east Caracas voting center, which she said showed González receiving the lion's share of votes. 'There's no way the regime can fool everyone with their tricks,' she added ...
