ABSTRACT

This article addresses the architectural study of the renovation process of the Church of San Benito Abad in Agudo, Ciudad Real, Spain, through a 17th-century drawing attributed to the master builder, Antonio de Piña. The drawing is unique in that it records the construction phases of the building and includes an exceptional working drawing of a Late-Gothic vault that is currently concealed by a more recent sail vault. The authors conduct a comparative analysis between the document and the material traces in the building, revealing a modus operandi adopted by master builders at the time.
