Sumario:The Escuelas Pías Church of Valencia stands out for the exceptional features and dimensions of its dome with an internal diameter of 24.5m. Today, it faces conservation problems, which make it necessary to determine the causes of the pathology and proposes corrective measures. Following analysis of documents and a historical-architectural study, an exhaustive data collection was completed, allowing the geometric and condition of the existing constructed fabric to be recorded. Based on the initial evaluation, specific studies are proposed, in this case the focus is on structural behaviour, the definition of the techniques and the materials of the classicist architecture of the Escuelas Pías Church. As a result a proposal is made for the intervention phases necessary for the adequate conservation and integral restoration, together with a research plan to advance the knowledge of its architecture.
