Juan Gil de Hontañón (1480 in Rasines, Cantabria – 11 May 1531 in Salamanca) was a master builder and Trasmeran mason of Spain during the 16th century.
His first work was associated with Segovia,[1] where he was associated with the school of Juan Guas.
[3] In 1505, the construction of Granada Cathedral was planned and its design was entrusted to Hontañón and Enrique Egas, who were already working on the city's royal chapel.
In Zamora he built the funerary chapel for the Monastery of San Francisco.
[6] His sons, who continued some of his works, were Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón[1] and Juan Gil de Hontañón the Younger.
