El arquitecto mossèn Joan Blai Aparici y la iglesia de San Sebastián de los agustinos de Xàtiva (1697-1702)

Abstract

For four hundred years, the Augustinian convent of Saint Sebastian of Xàtiva (Valencia) develops a dilated, interesting history which is extended respect the subject we focus on: the building of its church. This construction, erected at the end of the 17th century, contributes with a set of important novelties to the local architectural ensemble. Our research work is based on the arrangements for its construction, a fundamental document related to architecture and art history in the city. Furthermore, it also enable us to discover the author of the project: mossèn Joan Blai Aparici Polop, one of the great personalities of valencian baroque architecture  in the late 1600s.
