摘要:On the basis of epigraphical evidence, construction of the church of San Juan de Baños (Palencia) is usually thought to have been ordered by Reccesvinth in either 652 or 661. A new ground-plan and a study of the site's stratigraphy show how later restorations relate to the remains of the earliest church. A study of decorative elements makes it possible to distinguish material made expressly for the church from recycled pieces, giving rise to the hypothesis of a post-Visigothic date for the original contraction. The internal divisions of the building are also discussed and a reconstruction of its now lost parts proposed.
