La contribución arquitectónica de Ventura Vaca en Alburquerque a lo largo del tiempo: nuevas aportaciones y significaciones

Abstract

Recently, an architectural project by the architect Ventura Vaca was discovered in the context of the town of Alburquerque, Badajoz. This discovery has significantly expanded our understanding of Ventura Vaca's relevance and influence in a specific geographical region, while enriching our interpretation of his own architectural work. Furthermore, this research undertakes an incipient analysis of the history of the Casas Consistoriales de Alburquerque, with a focus on the project proposed by Ventura Vaca for this building. This project is considered to be the starting point that gave rise to the final town hall construction, which was carried out by the architect Donato Hernández Ruiz. Therefore, this study contributes significantly to the existing knowledge about Ventura Vaca, highlighting his crucial role as the driving force behind the transformation of the town of Alburquerque from a rural to an urban society.
