monastery of San Juan de los lieyi'S, finished 147G, and next in architectural importance
to the ca bedral at Toledo
;
the greater part of the catliedral commenced 1471 at Astorga,
in the very latest kind of Gothic, with much of the detail, especially on tlie exterior, re-
naissance in character; parts of the cathedral at Burgos, about 1487, such as the range of
diajjels at the eastern end of the cloisters and of tlie cliurch, inclusive of the tomb of the
constable Pedro Fernandez de Velasco, which is quite Hamboyant, and probably executed l)y

,597. Transitional work is observable in the palace, 1461, of Diego Hurtadode ISIendoza,
diKjue del Infantado, at Guadalajara; the Doric columns on the ground floor of tlie two-
storied pdtio seem to have been inserted 1570 ;
another transitional hu.lding is the dominican
college of San Gregorio, 1488-96, at \'alladolid, by Macias Carpintero, which has been
furnished with saslied windows to render it suitable for the residence of the governor of ti:o
province. The octagonal cimborio, 1505-20, of the cathedral at Zaragoza has detail tliat
is very renaissmce in character; the cathedral, commenced 151;3 at Sa'amanca by the cele-
brated architect Juan Gil de Hontai"ion, is a splendid example of florid Gothic with a leaning
to renaissance work
;
the first service Avas i)erforiTiud 1560 : and the sami; tendency is seen
in the cvlegio mayor de Santiago el Zibedeo or del Arzobispo, 1521, at Salam;;nca, and its
chapel by Pedro de Ibarra, which are Gotiiic, with details verging in character upon its
cloister b) Ibarra, which is entirely rendssance.
598. For works of the 16th century, it will only be necessary to notice the bridge calKd
ihepiuuie del Obispo, and the church of San Andres now the Colegiata, 1500, at Baeza ; the
if/ltsia mayisiral de San Justo
y
San Pastor, 1497-1509, at Alcala de Henares, by Pedro
Gumiel; the tnrro nvtva or bellry in the plaza de San Felijie, 1504, at Zaragoza, designed
275 ft. high (made 295 in 1749) by Gabriel Gombao and Juan Sarineiia, with the Jew
Ince de Gali, and the Moors Ezmel Hallabar and IMomferriz, erected by Gomlao, who, in-
tentionally, after the first 9 ft. from the ground, give it so much inclination for 100 ft. as to
make it incline 8 ft. 9 ins. to the south, the rest being u])right ; the chaptl and two of tlie
four cloisters, 1504, to the hospital general at Santiago, by Henrique de Egas ;
the cloister
fi.iished, 1507, of the cathedral at Siguenza ;
tlie cloisters, 1509, of the cathedral at
IJadajoz; the church of San Benito 1499-1524, at \'alladolid, by Juan de Arandia; the
vaulting, completed 1515, to the cathedral at Huesea; the cathedral eonunenced at Segovia,
1522, by Juan Gil de Ilontai'ion (who died 1531). and continued, partly under his son
Uodrigo, till 1593, which, as may be imagined, is consequently the last really Gothic work
in the country ; the church (of the latest Gothic), begun 1524, to the doir.inican monas-
tery of San Esteban at Salamanca, by Juan de Alava, who succeeded Juan Gil at
Salamanca, 1531-37; the removal, 1524, of the cloisters of the old cathedral to the site of
the new one at Segovia, by Juan de C'ampero
;
the viaduct, 322 ft. long, and 138 ft. high,
with five arches, 1523-38, to the dominic<in monastery and church of Sin Pablo, of the
s^ame ('.ate, at C'uenca, by Franci.sco de Luna; and the Gothic parish church, 1515-55, at
'J'udela de Diuro.
599. The next change to be indicated would be the expiration of the renaissance stylo
during the ptrioj in which some of the preceding examjiles were executed. But the well
authenticated date, 1576, of the church of Sta. INIaria INIadalen.i at Valladolid, by Rodrigo
Gil de Ilontai'ion, who became maestro mayor, 1538, of the cathedral at Salamanca, and,
1560, of that at Segovia, and died 1577, requires the remark that it does not look so late;
and thus becomes a most useful warning to the student, who may gather another from the re-
markable practice, 1530, of Diego de Uianno, architect to the cathedral at S^'ville, who in
tliat year designed and exrcuted the Gothic sicristia de los calices, the plateresque or re-
naissance sacrislia matjur, and the mcdern Italian chapter house.

600. For tlie reasons given in describing the pointed a'chitecture of Spain, its history in
Portugal will require only one introductory sentence. To the rage for refjuilding wliicii was
prevalent in that country, and the earthquake of 1755, must be adflid tlie destruction
causid by the generals of Napoleon I., as reasons why comjiaratively few are left of thfise
Ciothie liuildings which arose in the nortli of Portugal after Lisbon was taken, 1147, from
the floors, and in the south after the conquest, 1223-66, of Algarve. Passii>g over the
remains of jiointed arches, whicli indicate that the country was generally possessed by the
Moors, 713-1095, and transitional structures such as the church at San Pedro de Kates,
1095-1 1 12, with its hi|)ped central tower, tlie cistercian monastery with many additions,
begun 1122 and consecrated 1169, at Taroiica, the architect will find a few buildings
bi;lor.ging to the I3th century or rather earlier, such as the bridge at Barcello ;
the cloisters
Hnd original parts of the mi demised catliedral at 0|)orto
;
the church of Sail Franci.sco,
and part of that of Sta. Mar'.a de iMarviila at Sautarein
; and the earliest cloister of the
