Summary
During the 15th century, the Crown of Castile exhibited a unique blend of architectural styles, marking a significant departure from earlier European norms. This period saw the integration and subsequent evolution of Andalusi influences alongside emerging late Gothic and Renaissance elements, creating a diverse monumental landscape. The study highlights the Capilla del Condestable in Burgos Cathedral as a prime example of this artistic fusion, demonstrating how Castile's acceptance of Al-Andalus' heritage laid the groundwork for its distinct architectural identity. The research approach involved analyzing material realities and theoretical foundations, revealing how technical and ornamental advancements from northern Europe and Italy further enriched this cultural synthesis.
