Narciso Clavería y de Palacios

Narciso Clavería y de Palacios (1869–1935) was a Spanish architect, notable as an exponent of the Moorish revival style known as Neo-Mudéjar. He was the grandson of Narciso Clavería y Zaldúa, a nineteenth-century Governor General of the Philippines from whom he inherited the title of Count of Manila.

Toledo railway station, opened in 1919

Railway architecture

Working for the railway company Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Madrid a Zaragoza y Alicante (MZA), Clavería designed Toledo railway station, his best-known building. Clavería incorporated references to Toledo's architectural heritage, which he had spent some time photographing.[1] The facility features a spacious hall with Moorish revival decoration and a clock-tower.

The smaller station at Algodor, between Toledo and Aranjuez, is also attributed to Clavería.[2]
