Francesco's task was to build the sepulchral niches, located in the Krakow cathedral, for king Jan Olbracht (he died in 1502).
An other important Francesco's artistic impute is his contribution to the reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Krakow, not as an architect (he was not) but as stone-cutter, responsible for all the sculpturing at the Castle.
The third circle that had an impact on Francesco's work in Krakow is Hungary, particularly Giovanni Fiorentino's circle and the group of artists engaged for Jerzy Szatmary in Pecz and for the palace in Nyek.
Quintessence of classicism, the Palace of Charles V is the purest example of the style of architecture developed in Granada during the sixteenth century, but it is not the only one.
The architectural style initiated in Granada by Pedro Machuca and the Florentino brothers was brilliantly continued by Diego de Siloe, member of one of those German families of sculptor-architects settled in Burgos of whom we have already spoken.
When, in 1528, he was assigned to take over the building of the church of San Jerónimo in Granada, begun by Francesco and Jacopo Florentino, he was able to set aside minor projects and to carry out his ambition to produce something vast, spacious and simple in the purest classical style.
