Abstract
SANCHEZ, Pablo and ORTEGA, Pedro. The Alcazar of Seville during the Spanish II Republic (1931-1939). Management and Architectural interventions. Estoa [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.15, pp.175-196. ISSN 1390-9274. https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v008.n015.a09.
The Alcazar of Seville, listed as World Heritage from 1987, was ceded to the Town Hall of the city during the Spanish Second Republic (1931). Since this moment, the management of the monument was carried out by two institutions: Republic Heritage and the Sevillian Town Hall. The figure of Alfonso Lasso de la Vega must be highlighted, first Municipal Director-Conservator, whose management project was pointed to make it economically profitable the palace. After his cessation, the poet Romero Murube was the responsible of the management. During his first years as Director-Conservator, he faced architectural interventions in the courtyards of the Lion and of the Hunting. This project was developed with the collaboration of architects like Juan Talavera y Heredia or Félix Hernández Giménez, with two distinguishable restoring criterions.
