| Summary: | This study analyzes for the first time the unique, unexplored roofs and ceilings of the Renaissance palace Casa de los Pinelo in Seville. After deep transformations to become the Pension Don Marcos (1885-1964), the building was classified as heritage site (1954) and hence expropriated by the City Council (1964). Thenceforth, deep interventions and modifications were executed by architects Jesús Gómez-Millán (1967-1971) and Rafael Manzano Martos (1969-1981) so the building may host the headquarters of the Royal Academies of Belles Lettres and Fine Arts of Seville. Starting from an exceptional text dated in 1542 and transcribed for this purpose, this article offers a singular journey across the different types of roofs -nowadays preserved, transformed, or lost-documenting their dates. Modern floor plans and photographs together with unpublished data upon various alterations are also provided in order to facilitate the appreciation of this rich architectural complex. © 2020 All Rights Reserved |
