The treatise of Alonso de Vandelvira had a significant influence on Spanish and Andalusian Renaissance architecture. The study of two domes attributed to Andrés de Vandelvira, Alonso’s father, brings us closer to understanding the treatise and the relationship between its theoretical postulates and actual building practice in the sixteenth century. The domes of San Salvador, Úbeda, and of San Sebastián, Alcaraz, both of which are attributed to Vandelvira’s father, can be studied in the light of the treatise’s model for a round chapel with rib vault. The theory of the treatise and the practice of these Spanish Renaissance domes are compared in terms of design and building process.
