Sumario:[EN] Among the most characteristic elements of the Béjar Ducal Palace courtyard is the magnificent staircase made up of a large linteled arch that rests on Ionic columns with skewed capitals following the slope of the lintel. One of the capitals shows a different shape as it is bent. It consists of two halves, one of them in the common shape and the other one in a skewed shape. We deduce that there was a first project of the staircase that had to be modified. Master stonemason Pedro de Marquina´s (author of the first conditions of the Project) knowledge of stone stereotomy suggests he was; the project architect, the execution director and the architect that modified the project during the work.
