Pedro Sanchez Falconete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Sanchez Falconete was a Spanish architect of Seville, the completer of the palatial urban structure that houses the Archivo General de Indias in the city.
In 1644, on the foundations of the medieval humanitarian Hospital de la Caridad, Seville, a new church was erected to plans of Falconete, altered in the long, slow course of construction by Leonardo de Figueroa.
At the Iglesia del Sagrario he designed the Puerta del Perdón and another grand doorway. The modifications of the Iglesia de Santa María la Blanca are also to his design.
