Abstract

The agrarian colonization is essential to understand the development of the contemporary architecture and art from another context. The staff of the INC’s Architecture Service was formed by eighty experienced architects. Among them, this article highlights
the architectural contributions of Pedro Castañeda Cagigas during his activity in the INC-IRYDA in the provinces of Albacete and Valencia. Methodologically, unpublished documentation owned by his heirs and that obtained from the ministerial archives have been studied. The results of the study are to divulge his lesser- known works among others: Aguas Nuevas, the Cilanco schools-chapel, San Isidro de Benagéber, Huertos Melchor y Magallón and Masía del Carril, towns that should be valued by the contemporary sacred artistic heritage that they contain in different plastic manifestations such as mural painting, sculpture, pottery and stained glass.
