MARTINEZ PRADES, José Antonio. The imprint of El Escorial in Spanish post-war architecture: some cases of religious reconstructions in the province of Alicante (Spain). Estoa [online]. 2017, vol.6, n.10, pp.71-85. ISSN 1390-9274.  https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v006.n010.05.

After the destruction caused by the Spanish civil war, a theoretical debate started to try and determine what direction the new regime should take. This article analyses the model 'herreriano-escurialense', which symbolizes past imperial glory and which was proposed by the most conservative factions and by the Falange itself. It also looks how this model is reflected in some religious reconstruction works that took place during the post-war period based on three cases found in the province of Alicante. The study is based on the analysis of the documents kept in the General Archive of the State Administration belonging to Rebuilding Parochial Churches, incorporating certain data about its formal elements and some technical and budgetary features as well as references to the architects involved.

Palabras clave : Alicante; Escorial; Francoism; reconstructions; spanish post-war.
