Abstract

Bernardo Simón de Pineda was the most important architect – joiner of the Sevillian Baroque. He had been born in the of Antequera village (Malaga). In this study we comment on the question of his surnames, contribute documents on the family of the artist and, especially, his contract of learning in Cadiz with the architect - joiner Alejandro de Saavedra. We place in his context these contributions with the artistic panorama of the decade of 1650 in Cadiz and Seville.
