From 1875 to 1879 he worked as town-architect in Ávila.[6] He developed a remarkable activity in the restoration of architectural heritage in the late nineteenth century.[7] One of his biggest contributions was the introduction of Catalan vault system in Madrid,[7] after travelling to Barcelona in 1888.[5] He had a stained glass workshop in Ayala street, Madrid, run from 1890 to 1911.[3]
Some of his works are:
- the School of the Ursulinas,[3][8]
- the Chapel of Saint Diego and Saint Nicholas asylum,[3][9]
- Church of La Milagrosa,[10]
- Church of El Pilar,[11]
- Church of Los Redentoristas,[11]
- Church of Las Reparadoras,[12]
- Church of Las Hijas de la Caridad,[13]
- Church of Cedillo,[14] Temple of Sacred Hearts in Sabucedo de Montes,[15] the enlargement of Ávila's cemetery[16] or La Bañeza's cemetery.[17]
In his last years he developed a mental illness,[18] that led him to be interned in the psychiatric sanatorium of San José de Ciempozuelos in 1908, confinement that would last until his death in 1919.[19]
