Narciso Clavería y de Palacios

Narciso Clavería y de Palacios, 3rd Count of Manila (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.

Railway architecture edit

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]
