Abstract
In the vicinities of Braga, one of the most important religious centres of the Iberian Peninsula, Saint Frutuoso is believed to have built a small centralized-plan building, in Montelios, probably intended to be his mausoleum. Different authors date it to a large time span, from the 7th to the turn of the 11th centuries, affiliating the construction to artistic traditions as diverse as the Visigoth, Byzantine or Mozarabic. What we propose to discuss in this paper is not only the evidence that links the mausoleum to its ‘Patron Saint’, but also the obvious influences received and the misdeeds that it suffered with the restoration of the 20th century, shuffling the available material evidence.
