The Blacksmithies Of The Monastery Of San Julian De Samos According To Expropriation Documents

From the end of 1835 to the beginning of 1836 the inventories of the blacksmithies that belonged to the monastery of San Julian de Samos were written, within the expropriation process that affected all the religious houses in Spain. The aim of the present article is to use these documents as a tool to study the appearance that these blacksmithies had when the secularization took place. Our last goal is to show one part of their history, to recover some lost values and, in the end, to understand how this present but missing monastic industrial heritage was, and how it was organized in a certain moment of the past.
