Jose Antonio Calderon, 1784
"... no ha havido quien me dé razón de lo qe. esto fue, o qn. haya sido el fundador, para desvanecer así muchos pensamienrtos qe. formo al verlo todo y han formado otros mui entendidos, sin qe. puedan deslindar el monte de dificultades qe. le ofrece a la vista con los vestigios de la gran Ciudad Palencana: Lo que puedo asegurar sor. Ylustre es qe. la obra es suntuosisima aunque Si tosca en su fabrica y por lo tanto de gran firmeza" (AGI, Audiencia de Guatemala, Exp.674, Leg.471, ff.9v-r).
