| Sumario: | [EN] During the last decades of the eighteenth century, the Valencian architect and academic Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) designed different works for the city of Xàtiva (Valencia), renamed at the time as Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. His actions give a good account of the needs related to urban planning and public works of a populous urban nucleus at the end of the Old Regime, and of the control exercised on said aspects from the academic and governmental instances. Similarly, these works can be interpreted as significant pieces in Gascó’s architectural production, representative of his way of doing in the dual facet of academic architect (bridges of the Montesa river and Carnssers cliff, portes del Lleó and the Banys) and expert in hydraulic (siphon of the Santa irrigation canal). In the following pages we try to approach the knowledge of these works from these two prisms. |
