Fortunato de Selgas y San Julián de los Prados. La síntesis del debate de la restauración monumental en España a principios del siglo XX

The restoration by Fortunato de Selgas in San Julian de los Prados summarises the debate about heritage restoration in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century. It integrates a combination of elements from restoration in style limited by archaeological rationalism, the progress of Italian historical and Boitian theories, and the influence of Ruinist aesthetics together with the so-called archaeological sincerity. Several unpublished photographs dated in 1932 return the lost image of the church after the intervention and allow us to know one of the most interesting examples of Spanish restoration at the beginning of the 20th century, unfortunately altered by following interventions.
