The main objective of the present research has been the study of the architecture developed in the 18th Century church S. Miguel de Foces in (Huesca). It was originally built as a family vault and afterwards donated to the Order of St John's Hospital of Jerusalem.Departing from an exhaustive data collection and the later development of the plans, the metrology used in the building of the different parts of the temple, as well as geometry and regulated plans used in the design, were analyzed. Such studies have proved the relevance of the metrological and geometrical analyses in the research of historical architectures. In this particular case they have contributed to establish a number of conclusions related to the spatial organization of the temple, the stages of construction and the historiography of the architectural complex of the building, adding new information still unknown at present, redirecting beliefs which were not verified documentarily.
