Arquitectos e ingenieros. Proyectos fallidos para un cuartel de caballería en el Palacio Real de México

Abstract

In 1761, the viceroy Cruillas entrusted Lorenzo Rodríguez the plan to expand the cavalry barracks in the Viceregal Palace, although later the military engineers Agustín López de la Cámara Alta and Pedro Ponce presented other proposals. This study analyzes these plans in detail, as well as the reasons for their suspension.
