Graphic and analytical description of the helical columns of the Lonjas of Palma de Mallorca and Valencia

In several references we have found that the architect who built the Lonja of Valencia was inspired by the design of the Lonja of Mallorca. This is substantiated mainly by the fact that both buildings are in the same architectural style, that the two constructions have similar proportions and, in ad...
