## Commentary

Although the façade was clearly borrowed from Herrera&#39;s design for the cathedral, the new Baroque principles of style are also apparent here: classical balance has been relinquished in favour of stronger definition and the introduction of a clear hierarchy among the individual elements. Thus, the lower story is exceptionally high and the massive pilasters dominate the façade. The picture shows the façade of the church.
