Façade of Pamplona Cathedral
Santos Ángel de Ochandátegui
Santos Ángel de Ochandátegui (1749-1802) was the main protagonist of Navarrese architecture during the last two decades of the 18th century. Of Biscayan origin, after some early years at workin La Rioja, he settled definitively in Navarre at the end of the 1770s, and from then on he carried out the most significant works of the new academic language, such as the top of the tower of the church of Santiago in Puente la Reina (1776) or the parish church of Mañeru (1780). In 1780, the Provincial Council appointed him Director de caminos del Reino, a post from which he remodelled and completed the networkroad network. For his part, Ventura Rodríguez appointed him to carry out the two projects he was entrusted with in Pamplona: the façade of the cathedral and the water conduction from Subiza.
