ABSTRACT
After the plethora of theoretical discussion on the restoration of historical buildings in the first third of the 20th century, during the Francoist era these theoretical currents became sluggish, although this was counterbalanced by a great many heritage interventions, largely subject to the new conditions imposed by the Civil War. Although it is a complex task to untangle, in these short pages, the theoretical and methodological directives of architectural restoration during the Francoist era, it can be said that in the post-war period, until the end of the 1950s, urgent architectural reconstruction was considered less important than other activities responding to the complexity and singularity of each historical monument. Thus, there was an extensive field for experimentation among the various needs and sensitivities accompanying the evolution of restoration in those four decades.
