Interventions on Granada´s religious heritage during the «Franquismo» first times: reconstructions and new buildings

Abstract

The present investigation tries to clarify some aspects about the reconstructive interventions that took place in post-war Granada and that mainly affected the religious heritage, victim of the anticlerical attacks of the republican period. By comparing the published material, and carrying out archive and newspaper archive work, we have managed to compose an investigation that clarifies the reconstructive processes, as well as we value the main constructions of new temples. We will look for the closest influences for these new temples, highlighting the church of San Agustín and Corpus Christi del Zaidín, the contributions on the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima being also novel, all in a political, social, and of course, historical context artistic.
