Abstract


On the basis of epigraphical evidence, construction of the church of San Juan de Baños (Palencia) is usually thought to have been ordered by Reccesvinth in either 652 or 661. A new ground-plan and a study of the site's stratigraphy show how later restorations relate to the remains of the earliest church. A study of decorative elements makes it possible to distinguish material made expressly for the church from recycled pieces, giving rise to the hypothesis of a post-Visigothic date for the original contraction. The internal divisions of the building are also discussed and a reconstruction of its now lost parts proposed.
