Juan Guas

Spanish artist and architect

Monastery of Saint John of the Kings. Toledo

Juan Guas (c. 1430-33 - c. 1496) was a Spanish artist and architect of French origin. He worked in a group of architects to create the Isabelline style. Born in Saint-Pol-de-Léon, he moved to Spain when he was young, and is often thought to have been Spanish. Among his notable buildings are:

* Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes, Toledo[1]
* Palacio del Infantado, Guadalajara[2]
* Segovia Cathedral \- Guas worked on the original cathedral and his cloister and part of his facade were transferred to the new site and rebuilt next to Hontañon's cathedral church a generation later.
* Castle of Belmonte.
* Colegio de San Gregorio
* Monastery of El Paular, Cloister.
