Description
Summary:The Renaissance architect Diego Siloé designed the parish church in Iznalloz in 1549 in the Renaissance style but covered the nave and aisles with medieval ribbed vaults. The analysis of these vaults reveals that the architect sought a consensual solution and designed “Roman-style” ribs to integrate the vaults into the general discourse of the church. This adaptation, commonly found in mid-sixteenth-century Spanish architecture, produced singular solutions that highlight the state of the technique and the thinking of Diego Siloé.
