The Chapel of
El Salvador has an important Byzantine tower, whose construction was
sponsored by Charles V´s secretary of State. The design is due
to the architect Diego de Siloé and the execution and ornamentation
to Andrés de Vandelvira, when Diego de Siloé died. The
Sothern is the most interesting of its doors. Other important people
who participated in the construction of this building were: Berruguete
(main retable), esteban Janete (facade and sacristy), and Francisco
de Villalpando (bars.)
The Chapel mixes in a harmonious way circles and rectangles, according
to the humenistic style, covered by a vault in its head (funeral symbol).
This building keeps the rests of "De los Cobos" family.
