Don Juan Antonio de Urrutia y Arana Perez de Inoriza y Chávarri was a wealthy nobleman and patron of the arts in 18th-century Querétaro, during the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Biography

He was married to María Josefa Paula Guerrero Dávila Moctezuma y Fernández del Corral.[1] He financed the Aqueduct of Querétaro in order to bring water to the City of Querétaro from the springs in "La Cañada" (the Ravine). The Aqueduct was constructed following a request from the city's Capuhin nuns and the Marquess was convinced by his wife (who also contributed money for the construction).[1] Urrutia directed the construction of La Casa de la Marquesa, (House of the Marchioness), a home for his wife. However, the couple never lived in the house, as it was completed after their deaths.[1]
