The church of San Andrés de Cuenca was built in the 16th century under the direction of the architect Pedro de Alviz, assisted by the master mason Sebastián de Arnani. The work was interrupted for a long period until, at the end of the 16th century, Juanes de Mendizábal and his son-in-law, Pedro de Aguirre, resumed the work. The deep crisis that occurred in Cuenca in the first half of the 17th century had a negative effect on the work, which was not resumed until the end of the 17th century.
