DIAZ DEL CAMPO MARTIN-MANTERO, Ramón V.. Assimilating Tradition: Miguel Fisac and the Hermitage of San Pedro. Academia XXII [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, pp.23-39.  Epub July 22, 2023. ISSN 2594-083X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fa.2007252xp.2022.25.83150.

Miguel Fisac Serna (Daimiel 1913- Madrid 2006) was one of the most important figures on the Spanish art in the 20th century. His career has been extensively studied, as befits such an important figure, but some aspects of his work have aroused more interest than others. We intend to highlight one of his most unknown but at the same time most suggestive projects: a small chapel built in Almagro (Ciudad Real) a building constructed in the 1980s where an internationally renowned architect built an old chapel with a markedly popular character. The vernacular languages are mixed with modern solutions in a hermitage built with almost no financial means and with a strong involvement of the neighbourhood community.

Keywords : Fisac; Hermitage; Almagro; Popular Architecture; Concrete.
