Description
Summary:This research studies the restoration carried out on the church of the former Dominican convent of Montesión in Seville between 2002 and 2008, under the direction of the architects Rafael Manzano Martos and Pedro Barrero Ortega. The church, whose authorship can be attributed to Hern´n Ruiz II, the Cordovan architect who crowned the Giralda, was confiscated in 1835 and is currently owned by the Illustrious College of Notaries of Andalusia. The main objective of the article is to analyse the scope of the interventions, illustrating the study with photographs and graphic documents prepared for this publication, in order to make them known. These interventions promoted the conservation of the church and other movable assets, as well as the conservation of the Archive of Notarial Protocols, one of the most important documentary treasures for the knowledge of the history of the city. © 2022
