Abstract

Balbino Marrón y Ranero was the most remarkable architect of 19THcentury Seville. This research work provides some unpublished information found at the Archives of the Academy of San Fernando which sheds light on the uncertainties that still existed about this architect’s initial training, his masters and first influences. It also analyses in detail the project for a General Hospital in Seville which young Marrón presented at the Academy in Madrid as an exam test, a relevant graphic document which had never been studied deeply, despite showing a modern, functional conception of hospital architecture.
