- Abstract
This text offers a rigorous comparative analysis of the unique architectural features of the Cistercian church of Santa Maria de Monfero (1620-1662) in the province of A Coruna, the structure of which was affected by a series of lightning strikes that seriously damaged the building's structure and prevented the completion of the façade. The appearance of the church had it been entirely finished is reconstructed here in the form of a series of highly realistic images. The result is a surprising and clearly exceptional building within the context of Baroque architecture of the time.
