The paper describes the restoration process of a Romanesque church in Almenara de Tormes, Salamanca (Spain). The collar roof type timber frame, from XVI´s, was hidden and showed cuts at the bottom face from a lost wooden ceiling. On basis of these cut collar beams, that original ceiling was able to be rebuilt, because these constructions have a regular geometrical design. A precise geometrical reconstruction of the existing timber structure was the first step. The geometry of the cuts allowed, without any doubt, to know the original design. This is possible because these timber structures, from the XIV´s and specific from Spain, are based on strict geometrical design. A restoration architectural project was developed based on that previous research work. This work explains the research work and describes both the architectural project and the construction works.
