Neoclassic Architecture in Cadiz
Torcuato Cayón and Torcuato Benjumeda
Abstract
This article analyzes the evolution of architecture in the city of Cadiz and its area of influence, in the second half of the 18th century and the culmination of the first of the 19th century, when the culmination of the Baroque and the development of Neoclassicism took place. Military engineers, the influence of the San Fernando Academy in Madrid and the architects who worked at the Court, played an important role in this process. The establishment in Cadiz of foreign architects who introduced the new style also had an influence. In this evolution, the role played by Torcuato Cayón and his disciple Torcuato Benjumeda, the highest representative of neoclassicism in this area, was decisive.
