Abstract

Sargadelos is one of the best examples of the influence of the Enlightment on Galicia, that at that time was still under the feudal influence that had taken it to a great decay. Ibáñez was inspired by the prevailing European movement of cultural and economic renovation, and he set up a smelting factory in the north of Lugo later turned into a ceramics factory that imitated English production, especially the so-called “Bristol type”.
