“On 17th June 1995 the roof of the nave and practically all the cloister of the Church of San Francisco in Pontevedra were destroyed by fire. The architect in charge of the restoration works explains the criteria followed in the recuperation of the missing elements and declares himself in favour of current techniques and trends, the keys of whose composition is to be found in the design, geometry and rhythm of historic stone buildings.
