La arquitectura policromada en el Romanticismo y su incidencia en Estella, Navarra

Abstract

The cultural resolution initiated in the mid 18th century took us to the discovery of the polychrome conception of classic architecture. The innovative spirit of the Architecture College of Madrid, in contradiction to the classic precepts of the Academy, will spread the practice of colour in architecture. On the other hand, the new progressist middle class will materialise their pretensions of urban classification through the regulation of construction activities, which are to abide by the procedures of good taste and decorum. Estella it is a meaningful example of the magnitude that this decorative current attained in its times.
