This article aims to generate interest in the drawings of 17th-century Sevillian architects, highlighting their importance and valuing the few that remain. The main objectives are the collection and analysis of domestic architectural plans in Seville and related graphic processes, focusing on those by architect Pedro S & aacute;nchez Falconete. First, historical archives and the National Library of Spain were consulted. Secondly, four of Falconete’s plans from the Seville Cathedral Archive were selected. Two of these plans are little-known and analyzed for the first time (wineries in Villalba del Alcor, 1628), and the authorship of two more is proposed (Sevillian inn of Santo Cristo, 1603-1604). Finally, they were analyzed and compared with other contemporary drawings, detailing graphic procedures, measurement accuracy, and the conservation status of the buildings
