Abstract


After Cordoba´s reconquest by king Saint Ferdinand in 1236, Cordoba town was urbanized into fourteen districts, or parishes. Social, administrative and religious center of these districts was situated in fourteen churchs. These buildings are named ferdinand churchs’, because they were constructed by king Saint Ferdinand. A similar architectural pattern was followed in construction of these churchs. This pattern is characterized by reiteration of fixed arquitectural elements, like roof structure made of timber, in central and lateral church-bodies. Roof timber structure used in lateral church-bodies was tilted frame, while triangular truss with butress and anchor was used in central church-body. Some of these churchs have been destroyed or greatly transformed. However, in survivor ferdinand churchs’ is posible to study the roof timber structure, a singular cover system that was originated by union of medieval constructive and mussulman ornamental technics. The aim of this article is to describe the roof timber structure of cordovan ferdinand churchs’ as well as to research into their origin.
