Abstract

San Juan de los Reyes church was first housed in the old mosque for converts in Granada. In 1520 the mudejar church was built on the same site. The present paper analyzes the various attempts at restoration made during the 19th century, which had unfortunate effects on the building. We also discuss work done on the church by Torres Balbás and Prieto-Moreno during the present century, work designed to recuperate the spatial sense of the original building.
