"Reconstruyendo" una ruina del siglo XVII. El desaparecido convento de la Encarnación de Mondoñedo

Abstract

The objective of this work is to describe the morphology of the vanished Convento de la Encarnación of Mondoñedo, built on a hill outside the city in 1650s and demolished sixty years later because of a disastrous construction. We will also give news about the masters builders who erected it –Diego Ibáñez Pacheco and Antonio Rodríguez Maseda–, the stonemasons who worked under his orders and even other architects who inspected its ruin –fray Gabriel de Casas among others–.
