Nuevas noticias sobre Lázaro de la Incera Vega

Abstract

Lázaro de la Incera Vega is a master architect who was born in Cantabria and who was active in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. He died in 1728. In this work, the author, based on the inventory of his properties, presents the books that he had on his trade. In this way we will be able to know the theoretical support of his works and, above all, his professional training. Furthermore, the author has documented the contracting of the towers of San Severino and San Juan del Moral de Balmaseda, reducing his role to builder of the former tower. The design of that important building corresponded in reality to Pedro de la Viesca, Andrés Martínez, Alberto Alonso de Viadero and Alonso Martínez Ochoa.
