Abstract

José Oriol Mestres, architect for Barcelona Cathedral from 1855 to 1895, went to Seville in 1865 to work on architectural plans from the unfinished transept fronts of the city's foremost place of worship. Although various Canons of Seville intended that he should also be responsible for the project to complete the façades, a variety of reasons drove Mestres to reject the commission.
