Claudio de Arciniega (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈklawðjo ðe aɾθiˈnjeɣa]; c. 1520–1593) was a Spanish architect and sculptor.[1] He designed the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral and possibly the Puebla Cathedral.[1][2]
Arciniega was born in Burgos, Spain around 1520 and moved to the New World in the mid-16th century.[2][3] While in Spain, he worked as a sculptor in Madrid and Alcalá de Henares.[3] After moving to what is now Mexico, he worked on different architectural projects, including building a viceroy's palace from the remains of Montezuma's home and designing the first building for Mexico City's university.[3] He worked on the Mexico City Cathedral until his death.
