José Benito de Churriguera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Benito de Churriguera (March 21, 1665 – March 2, 1725), was a great Spanish architect, sculptor and urbanist whose style led to the adjective churrigueresque to describe work from that time. He and his two brothers Joaquin (1674-1724) and Alberto (1676-1750) were recognized as the leading architects of their time.
