Sumario:[EN]This article summarizes the methodological process used, as well as, the most outstanding results of the Architecture Archaeology study carried out in Santa María de Melón monastery (Galicia, Spain). Our project combined the stratigraphic analysis of paraments, the medieval Archaeology, the systematic casting of medieval and modern documentation as well as a typological and iconographical analysis much more common in Art History. This work has made it possible to identify the different stages of a building, as well as to reveal the existence of a number of structural improvements carried out during Modern Age as a result of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon. In this respect, our work represents one of the first approaches carried out in Archaeology regarding the impact of this natural disaster on our country Heritage.
