Abstract
Using unpublished documentation, the authors examine two burials at the Monastery of El Paular. One of these pertained to D. Melchor de Moscoso y Sandoval, Bishop of Segovia, who consecrated the church in 1629. The other was commissioned by D. Baltasar de Acevedo y Zuniga, Prime Minister to Felipe IV, who chose the chapter house as a funerary chapel for himself and his family. We study the construction process of these tombs and their ornamentation within the context of the monastic building. Finally, we explain why D. Baltasar’s mortal remains were moved to the Augustine convent of Salamanca.
