La iglesia de la villa de Ontígola (Toledo), vecina del Real Sitio de Aranjuez

Abstract

This article reviews the evolution of the church of Ontígola and its relationship with Aranjuez, which in the mid-18th century financed its works with the materials used for the reconstruction of the Royal Site after the serious conflagration of 1748. Recognised by Santiago Bonavia a year later, the new church of the Immaculate Conception would finally be built by the master builder Florencio Rodríguez del Castillo, according to the file preserved in the General Archive of the Royal Palace in Madrid. Closed due to the threat of ruin in 2004 and partially demolished later, the building began to be restored at the beginning of 2020.
