HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE 2
The Early Period (1492- 1556). Plateresquenotable for the grafting of Renaissance details on to Gothic f0rms and was influenced by the exuberant fancy of Moorish art. Thus there had been produced by this time a style as rich and poetic as any in Europe, commonly
known as the 'Plateresque' (plateria =- silverwork)
Classical Period ( 1556-1690).marked by a closer adherence to Italian Renaissance art.
PLATERESQUE- a phase of the Early period of Spanisharchitecture of the later 15th and early 16th century, an intricate style named after its likeness tosilver work.
Baroque Period (1650-1750) Churrigueresque
characterized by a reaction from the correct and frigid formalism observed by Herrera and his followers. There was no single version to which all designers of the day adhered. Classical rules was disregarded. The earlier Baroque show some relationship to central Italy and a fantastically extravagant expression, the 'churrigueresque' developed in the late seventh century and continued to mid-eighteenth; due to a family of architects led by Jose de Churriguera (1650-1723).
The ANTIQUARIAN PERIOD (1750-1830) architecture turned more and more towards ancient classical models at this time
CHURRIGUERESQUE - an expression of Spanish Baroque architecture and sculpture associated with the churriguera family of artists and architects, but not inharmonious,decorative exuberance. In architecture a recurrent feature was the richly garlanded spiral column.

Takes its name from the curious treatment of its facade, which is covered with carvedScallop Shells. The windows are few in number; the small lower ones are guardedwith grilles of elaborate mo~ishironwork, while the upper ones have carvedpanels in lieu of balconies and are enriched with heraldic carvinas.
Is a masterpiece of Plateresquedesign of admirable craftsmanship and embodying,within a Gothic frame, a number of ltalianate motifs such as amorini, panelledpilasters infilled with arabesques, portrait roundels and candelabria as well as thearms of Ferdinand and Isabella and of Charles V, all embedded in a wealth of surfaceornament of Moorish inspiration.
A castle of mixed moorish and Gothic character, was remodelled by Alonso. De Covarrubias, the well designed patio had superimposed corinthian columns in light arcades of the Early Italian type, the arches standing upon the column caps and like the facade which formed a new front to the old castle, was not richly sculptured, since the material was granite. The central entrance was flanked by Ionic columns surmounted by .statues, and the elaborate overdoor had a panel carved with the arms of Charles V. The first storey windows of the facade, with iron balconies, were set off by plain wallin, while the top storey had an unusual rusticated treatment with a small order on pedestals, surmounted by a flat balustraded roof.
El Escorial – 26 miles NW of Madrid
The Escorial
The Town of Escorial[30 km. Northeast of Madrid]
This austere group of buildings on a lonely site, 206 m x 209 m, consists of monastery, college, church and palace with state apartments. The grand entrance in the centre of the west front opens into the 'patio de los Reyes', which, lying between the great courts of the monastery and the college, forms the atrium ot the church, the latter measuring 100 m x 64 m. To the right of the atrium is the monastery, with its four courts, each 18.3 m square, surrounded with arcades in three storeys, beyond which is the 'Patio de los Evangelistas'. To the left of the Atrium is the college, with its four courts, and beyond this the great court of the palace is connected with the state apartments,. which project behind the church and make the plan into the form of a gridiron. Although the church shows Italian influence, the Spanish character is seen in the position of the choir over a vaulted vestibule at the west end, which shortens the long arm of the Latin cross, so that the main building is a Greek cross on plan. The external facades, five stories high are in great blocks of granite.
