ABSTRACT
Earthen construction is widespread in the traditional architecture of most of the Spanish mainland. This study focused on the region of La Manchuela in the province of Albacete, where traditional earthen construction was predominant until the early twentieth century, when with the introduction of new materials these traditional constructions began to progressively disappear. The main aim of this research was the cataloguing of earthen buildings still conserved in the region, in order to collect data for subsequent analysis of the different earthen constructive techniques used for buildings as well as the interventions for restoration and maintenance carried out on them over time, finally cross-referencing the case studies to extract a series of overall conclusions.
