Machuca, Pedro
Machuca, Pedro (c.1485–1550). Spanish architect, he designed the great Palace of Charles V (Emperor 1519–55, d. 1558) in the Alhambra, Granada (1527–68), in an accomplished Italian Renaissance style worthy of Raphael or Bramante. The circular colonnaded court (begun 1540) is especially fine.
