- Abstract
Much Canarian architectural heritage reflects certain decorative elements characteristic of the eclectic and modernist style that signals a bygone era of great splendour. One of them is the capstone covered in this article, the culmination of a perfectly ornamented building as employed by some architects, an element that will be detailed here with examples. This article explores this decorative element by consulting architects' plans for buildings that made use of the ornament in Tenerife between 1896 and 1931, examining the documentation of the municipal archives as a complement to extant information on these professionals. By doing so, the article analyses such architects' styles, particularities and preferences with respect to this decorative component.
