Abstract

The paper aims to study the production of carved stone artifacts for architectural purposes from the documentary sources relating to the city of Girona (Spain) during the Middle Ages (12^th-15^th c.). Within these materials, specific attention will be devoted to windows, ornamental fountains, liturgical furniture, religious and civil cloisters as well as to the production of mortars for household and industrial use (e.g. apothecaries). In addition, this work will analyse who the stonemasons were, their work system and topographical location in the city. The ownership and location of the main quarries as well as the marketing strategies for the products, either by land or by sea, to the different territories of the Crown of Aragon and nearby areas will also be examined.
