In Spain, Renaissance began to be grafted to Gothic forms in the last decades of the 15th century. The new style is called [[Plateresque]], because of the extremely decorated façade, that brought to the mind the decorative motifs of the intricately detailed work of [[silversmith]]s, the ''Plateros''. Classical orders and candelabra motifs (''a candelieri'') combined freely. As decades passed, the Gothic influence disappeared and the research of an orthodox classicism reached high levels. Although Plateresco is a commonly used term to define most of the architectural production of the late 15th and first half of 16th century, some architects acquired a more sober personal style, like [[Diego Siloe]], and [[Andrés de Vandelvira]] in [[Andalusia]], and [[Alonso de Covarrubias]] and [[Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón]] in [[Castile (historical region)|Castile]]. This phase of Spanish Renaissance is called [[Purism (architecture)|Purism]]. From the mid-sixteenth century, under such architects as [[Pedro Machuca]], [[Juan Bautista de Toledo]] and [[Juan de Herrera]] there was a closer adherence to the art of ancient Rome, sometimes anticipating [[Mannerism]], examples of which include the [[palace of Charles V]] in [[Granada]] and [[El Escorial]].<ref name=BF /><ref name=A.M /><ref name= W&M /> This ''[[Herrerian style]]'' or ''arquitectura herreriana'' of architecture was developed during the last third of the 16th century under the reign of [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]] (1556–1598),<ref name=Arteespana>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arteespana.com/arquitecturaherreriana.htm|title=Arquitectura Herreriana|language=es|website=arteespana.com|access-date=2019-01-05|archive-date=2 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201102080957/https://www.arteespana.com/arquitecturaherreriana.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> and continued in force in the 17th century, but transformed by the [[Baroque architecture|Baroque style]] of the time.
