Abstract
The Church of Santa María Micaela is a work by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco built by order of Mrs. Diega Desmaisières y Sevillano within the complex built for charitable purposes in Guadalajara, which also includes the Asylums and its Family Pantheon. It is an eclectic work in which elements from different styles are masterfully combined.
After pointing out the basic characteristics of eclectic architecture and the importance of Ricardo Velázquez Bosco within it, a work that is not excessively large in size but extremely interesting is studied and analyzed, although insufficiently known for being next to the most important building of those made by this architect for the Duchess of Sevillano, her magnificent Pantheon.
The influences of the different architectural styles used and the differences between the exterior and interior of the temple are studied, and special emphasis is placed on the spatial model followed, which does not correspond to that of the Mudejar Christian temples of Guadalajara, a city in which This can be considered its most characteristic style, but rather to compositions of other types of temples, buildings with other needs for worship, in this case the synagogues that in Spain were frequently built using the Mudejar style. For this, suggestive architectural resources were used.
