DIEGO DIAZ DE LISBOA, CANTERO Y ARQUITECTO DEL VIRREY MENDOZA

Abstract

This is the first monographic study that has been realized about Diego Díaz de Lisboa, a portuguese stonemason and architect, which passed by Seville in 1526. Then he went to México where he worked between 1530 and 1562. He discovered quarries and teached the quarrying art to the natives. He collaborated in the most important public works, which were done in México City during the governement of Viceroy Mendoza.
