- Abstract
The archives of the Ducal House of Medinaceli Foundation hold an interesting series of plans of the Collegiate of Santa María de la Asunción in Medinaceli (province of Soria, Spain). These plans mainly pertain to structural reforms of the building, particularly of the tower and some of its chapels, but also contain designs for some aspects of the church’s ornamentation. Construction of the temple was paid for by the local nobility, the Dukes of Medinaceli, who were patrons of this collegiate institution, and as such preserved the planimetry of the building. This archived planimetry allows a deeper historical analysis of this heretofore largely unknown religious building, which was of capital importance to the ducal town of Medinaceli as well as the wider bishopric of Sigüenza between the 16th and 19th centuries.
