La Catedral de Cádiz de Vicente de Acero: la provocación de la arquitectura "crespa"

Abstract

The Cathedral of Cádiz is the last Baroque Cathedral in Spain and its history and fame has suffered the savage attack of academical criticism from the end of the Eighteenth Century. In this paper, this building is studied in relationship with its architect's (Vicente de Acero y Acebo) former intentions, known to us through his designs and pamphlets: a creative synthesis of the Siloesque cathedral tradition of Andalusia and the last architectural novelties from ltaly and France.
