| Abstract: | In the archives of Girona city there is valuable information about the agents that participated in the construction of the most important buildings in Girona between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. Our objective is analyzing one kind of document that contributes relevant information for the construction in this period: the building contracts. In this kind of document one will find a series of guidelines for the construction of buildings that master builders should follow. In these documents appear not only the most important religious buildings built in Girona but also other contracts of the minor construction as reparation of constructive elements, construction of small houses, etc. Not all documents are in relation with private buildings; we find documents of public works like construction of bridges, walls of city, remodeling of streets, etc. The study of these documents contributes important information about the construction history in the city of Girona. |
