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.
