Summary

This article is a review of the main religious buildings of the Basque Country during the XVI century, which seems to show signs of a wilful dependency on Castilian architecture, both in courtesan architecture (Madrid and Valladolid) as the architectural examples at Burgos and Salamanca while the influence of the stone-cutters´ experience on stone-cutting techniques in Andalicía was making itself felt. Since a formal "Basque" style was lacking, the renovation of Basque architecture following a "Roman style" provoked the appropriation of the Castilian style.
