Based on a gazetteer of 190 sites, this book provides a comprehensive reappraisal of Spanish monastic architecture in the Early Middle Ages. It combines documentary sources for both architecture and monastic organisation with archaeological evidence, which shows that architectural styles and layouts were less uniform across the Late Antique world than has often been assumed. Nonetheless the author is able to develop a methodology to distinguish betwen domestic and monastic sites. Spanish text.
