SEVILLIAN BRICKLAYERS TRADE AND ITS ASSISTANCE CHARACTER: SAINT ANDREW´S BRICKLAYERS HOSPITAL

Abstract

To achieve a thorough knowledge of construction trades, we need to be familiar with the different specialities which make up this field. One group which has enjoyed contrasting fortunes is bricklayers, in spite of having played an important role in some of Seville’s greatest eras of architecture. In this article, we will look at the early founding period, with the creation of the company’s house, which can help throw some light on a trade which was essential to the architectural development of Seville, and which should be included in a comprehensive study of Sevillian bricklayers trade.
