Abstract
The church of Saint Michael in Almazán has an octagonal dome, made up of eight rounded arcs, intertwined in the form of a star, showing its Islamic influence. The complexity of the construction, as well as the stereotomy and intersections of the elements, cannot be seen with clarity in the few drawings that have been done of it up to now, with relatively small floor plans and sections, and which are not sufficiently explicit as to transmit its monumentality. The author takes on the challenge of drawing it in perspective in a grand format, from a realistic point of view, and finding solutions to the serious distortions that occur.
