__**The big question**__ Society​ was divided in several groups (like the feudal system): the clergy, the nobles and the workers. In the XVI and XVII centuries the nobles and the clergy have a lot of privilages and the workers diden't had any privileges in my opinion this was unffair because the people that were richer didn't pay taxes and the ones who were poor had to pay a lot. ( 80% of their earnings) The nobles were the ones who took political decisions and also the ones who lived in luxery.

The rich people (like the nobles and the clergy) built a lot of things to sow all the people that they were powefull and rich, for exaple the casa y torre de los lujanes it was built to have a residence in madrid and was paid by alvaro lujan I think to sow all the peolple that he has power and that he can built a big hause in madrid and had others in other places. the clergy made the same they built churches but then same were used to lived (for same monks). the religion in that period i think it had a lot of influence because for example the chirstianity ( which was the main religion in spain) sell same things to the people to go to the heaven, and the people by it, the religion has a lot of power but also has corruption which later made the people change of opinion and star to follow the lutherans ideas. In my opinion the nobles and the chuch built the buildings (appart of specific things) to sow their power.
