LEFEBVRE, Karine. From the Ephemeral to the Enduring, the Hallmark of the Christian Religion on the Landscape: the Construction System of Primitive Religious Buildings in the Acámbaro Region. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.152, pp.179-215. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v38i152.358.

In the course of the 16th century, different religious buildings in the Acámbaro region presented a great diversity of morphologies and construction materials. Based on historical and archaeological data, this article analyzes different typological and functional aspects in order to better understand the relationships that linked the nature of the building materials used to the role of those structures in the religious hierarchy and their evolution over time.
