Drawing and architectural analysis of San Ildefonso’s Baths in Seville (1542)

Research reveals that San Ildefonso’s Baths, located in the historical center of Seville, was one of the most significant bathing complexes in the city during the 13th century. The study, based on previously unpublished data from a 1542 book of descriptive records, reconstructs the baths' layout and architectural features through innovative graphic transformation methods. Findings indicate that despite its historical importance, the complex became obsolete by the 18th century and was subsequently demolished. This work provides new insights into the typology, dimensions, and spatial organization of a lost architectural heritage site within Seville's UNESCO-listed Cathedral, Alcázar, and Archivo de Indias.
